    Linear Simulation taking suspiciously long in Explicit.

    Hi everyone I have a question regarding simulation time. In general, I want to speed up the time it takes to run my simulation. In fact, I think the simulation should take less than 2 hours but instead it takes about 2 days. I explain the details of this simulation below. I have a...

    Write python script that extracts max stress from .odb files

    I am trying to write a python script that determines and extracts the max Mises stress (from an .odb file) on a body in a dynamic simulation. Note that the stress will change with respect to both time and location. It seems like a fairly easy code theoretically - just determine that max stress...

    Python code for importing data from .txt file into ABAQUS

    I am trying to write a python script for a parametric study in ABAQUS. Part of this involves importing data from other .txt files into the amplitudes of my loads (the tabular amplitude in ABAQUS). How do I write this in my python code? In other words, how do I write a python code that imports...

    Trying to run a job w/ a subroutine and getting error "Unsupported 16-bit Application"

    I am trying to run a subroutine with ABAQUS for the first time. In the command window, I type: Job=(name) user=(name) Then an error box pops up titled "Unsupported 16-bit Application" and says the following: "The program or feature "\??\C:\SIMULIA\temp\job.com cannot start or run due to...

    script to automatically feed data to ABAQUS model from a separate file for numerous simulations

    Hello everyone So I know only basics about ABAQUS/CAE - enough to make things work, but never in an efficient manner. Right now I have time-varying loads being applied to a robotic arm at various locations. There are three separate parts. In each Part, different time-varying loads are...

    Defining Contact Between Rod and Base: Contact not being recognized at all

    I am trying to run a modal analysis (via the "Frequency Step") for an aluminum, circular bar that can slide in and out of a circular base. In other words, the bar is confined inside a circular base, where the diameter of the base is 0.004 "units" larger than the diameter of the bar...

    Crazy displacement field for a simple model that should be giving reasonable results

    So, I'm a new guy with respect to Abaqus. I ran a model (for a very basic robotic arm) and I am getting reasonable stress values. However, I am getting an outrageous displacement values. I originally did not notice this since Abaqus automatically scales your results with the "Deformation Scale...
