    Surface Mold preparation for Concrete filling

    Hello guys, I'm new to this kind of topic and I have a question for you to see if I can reduce the waste of sheet metal in my company. My company produces heating boilers and uses concrete to build their walls. The shape of our boilers are cylindrical and in order to produce this shape we use...

    error in envRunFile

    Hi guys, I'm getting this error using abaqus 6.11.5. Traceback (most recent call last): File "SMAPyaModules/SMAPyaDriver.mpy/Lib/driverEnv.py", line 276, in envRunFile File "/homes/abaqus_v6.env", line 148, in <module> mp_mpi_implementation = PMPI NameError: name 'PMPI' is not defined...

    different memory(ram) needs

    Hi guys, first of all, thanks in advance. The problem: I have a job that when I try to run on my pc (i7, 20gb of ram) it asks for 12gb of ram (estimated) and it is able to finish the job. Then when I try to run the same job on a cluster(over 60gb of ram), it aborts saying that a memory limit of...

    Modal dynamics, base motion issue

    Hi guys, first of all thanks for spending time reading this. I have a model of a Bus and I'm trying to do a modal dynamic analysis (the simulation finish with no problem), however I'm getting huge displacements. I'll explain my problem: I have a bus with a gravity applied all over the model...

    Simple Question :Frequency Extraction Step -&gt;Modal dynamics

    Hi guys, I have a simple question. I'm doing a Modal dynamics analysis in Abaqus. I wouldn't remember to ask this if I had a small model, however thats not the case. Only the frequency extraction step takes up to a hour and a half and the rest depends on the time increment that I define. So my...

    How to handle components that dont play any role in structural behaviour?

    Hey guys, I have the structural part of my model already finished, however that is not enough because I need to include all the other components that will influence the dynamics of the whole model. I want to have the influence, for example, of the weight and inertia of my motor, however I dont...

    Insufficient memory. Need suggestions, please.

    Hi all, I have a very large model and I got this error today. It seems that my computer doesn't have enough physical memory to run the whole job. Error: Abaqus/Standard has exited because there is insufficient memory available. A limit of 16337.00 megabytes was specified using the memory...

    Help please Frequency Analysis. Error: Three Factorizations in a row failed.

    Hey, I need some help trying to understand why I get the ERROR: "THREE FACTORIZATIONS IN A ROW FAILED. CHECK THE MODEL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MODEL CONTAINS THE KINEMATIC COUPLING DEFINITION SET UP IN A WAY THAT A DEGREE OF FREEDOM HAS NEITHER MASS NOR STIFFNESS", when I'm doing a Freqyency...

    Searching for an experienced opinion

    Hey guys, for the last three months I have been defining a model of a bus in Abaqus. Since the beggining I have been always testing the model to see if things are going as expected,testing it in static analysis and frequency extraction. Since I am reaching a point that I have to start dynamic...
