    How to adjust colorbar range in a matlab plot

    Hi everyone, new to Matlab here. I have a n x m matrix with values in the range 0.0-3.0 aprox. I want to make a plot using only 2 colors: red if value < 1 and green otherwise. I used imagesc with colormap ([1 0 0; 0 1 0]). The problem is that the colorbar divides the range from 0 to 1.5 (red)...

    Plot yielded elements

    Hi everybody, I ran a 3D plastic model of mining labours in rock. Is it possible to plot in the Visualization Module only the yielded (plastified) elements? Thanks in advance. FGS

    Problems loading diagnostic info in odb file

    Hi everybody, I have a problem that sure is easy to solve, but I don't get how, so any help will be appreciated. Using Abaqus 6.10, sometimes I get elements with negative volume (Abaqus identified them in set ErrElemVolSmallNegZero) and sometimes, in contacts I get nodes used more than once as...

    Removing elements that meet some criteria

    Hi everybody, I'm trying to model the caving process in mining (progression of a underground excavation in rock). I have a 2D model formed by a relatively large amount of elements. The analysis is made in several steps. In the first step some elements are removed (*MODEL CHANGE, TYPE=ELEMENT...

    Materials with predefined stresses (using SIGINI)

    Hi everybody, I have to apply a field stress in my 3D model (just a very simple field, something like s11=num1; s22=num2; s33=num3). I used subroutine SIGINI and initially, the stresses are loaded o.k. The problem is that in the second step of the analysis (e.g. the first after INITIAL) the...

    Comparing outputs between steps

    Hi everyone, I'm modeling a stepped excavation to analyze the increments in deformation as soil is taken out. I've defined 4 steps and want to know not only the total defs, but also between steps. Is it possible to define an output like Ux_1-2 = Ux_step2 - Ux_step1 in such way that I can see...

    Removal of parts during analysis

    Hi everybody, is it possible to "remove" a part during a simple 2D analysis using Abaqus/CAE? Accordingly to Analysis User's Manual, sec. 11.2.1, it can be made with the input *MODEL CHANGE, TYPE=ELEMENT, REMOVE but I'm using CAE. I'm trying to model the effects of a stepped excavation and...

    Plastic 2D model with Mohr-Coulomb criteria

    Hi everybody, I made a 2D model with Abaqus/CAE 6.7 (S4R shell elems.) to analyze a problem involving 2 types of soils. In order to predict failure, I'm trying to use Mohr-Coulomb plasticity , but I'm getting errors (a message like "Mohr-Coulomb can't be used with plane stress appears). This...

    Automatic contact generation

    Hi, I'm working with Abaqus in a model with many different parts, so there are many contact interactions. But manually defining all the master-slave pairs is tedious, and inefficient, so I'm looking for a faster (and easier) way. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
