    Abaqus contour integral node set at contour 1 = only 1 node?

    Hi, In Abaqus we can find the nodes belonging to the domains used to calculate the contour integral at the different contours. Abaqus documentation states: [highlight #FCE94F]The domain associated with each contour is calculated automatically. The nodes belonging to each domain can be printed...

    Abaqus - mesh seeds at partition edges, cell constraint?

    Hi, I am currently working on creating a model for the contour integral calculation of an arbitrary internal crack using Abaqus scripting. However, I have encountered a problem with my mesh at the crack contours, where regions with unstructured elements (as seen in Figure 1) create noise in the...

    Install python packages in Abaqus python, how to?

    Hi I need to install shapely in abaqus python. I tried copying the shapely installation files from my anaconda environment to the abaqus site_packages folder, but I doesnt work. When running my script in abaqus, it says "ImportError: No module named lib". Does anyone know how to install python...

    Abaqus - View cut visualization of a quadratic Hex mesh - seems strange at some view cuts

    Hi I have meshed a cylinder in abaqus using quadratic hex sweep mesh. The cylinder which is partitioned, is seen on the following figure. The 4 outer cells are meshed using medial axis, and the rest are meshed using advancing front. I then use the visualization module to see how the mesh...

    Abaqus - Get minimum bounding rectangle/box from closed sketch regions

    Hi, Does anyone know a method where it is possible to get a minimum bounding rectangle/box from a closed region in sketch. I have to collect geometrical parameters of closed irregular regions, and therefore the minimum bounding box width and length are important. If not possible in sketch...

    Abaqus: Update part in assembly

    Hi, In assembly module I am using the "Create instances" and "merge/cut instances" tool to partition a part using a shell part as partitioning geometry. This works fine. But when i edit one of the original parts in the part module, the assembly doesnt change corresponding to the edited part...

    Abaqus meshing internal crack in cylinder

    Hi, I am trying to model an internal crack in a cylinder as seen on "Image_001". I am using the Abaqus contour integral method to model the crack in a 3D model. First I will verify the model by comparing the results of a penny shaped crack obtained in Abaqus to analytical solutions. Next I will...
