I am attempting to remove coincident nodes in the input file for an ABAQUS analysis. I've heard that it can be done in the CAE, but I am not using that. Any ideas of a keyword to remove the duplicates?
I've been using *mpc, tie to connect the nodes, but since there are a lot, I'd rather not...
Hey all --
To give a very brief background - I'm attempting to model a fracture by first finding the stresses in certain elements, then making a second file without those elements defined. In the second file, the neighboring elements have an applied stress equal to that held by the removed...
I have a load step in my analysis where a pressure load is applied to some shell elements, and this error is occuring:
***ERROR: SURFACE ELEM15E3 INCLUDES EDGES. EXCEPT FOR SHELL EDGE LOADING, SURFACES WHICH INCLUDE EDGES CANNOT BE USED WITH *DSLOAD, *DSFLUX, *SFILM, *SRADIATE, *DSFLOW, *SFLOW...
Hello -
I have a model that is loaded almost entirely with static loads. The critical step, however, is best done dynamically, and will result in the failure of certain elements.
I'm having numerical problems in this final step when using /standard, but have been told that /explicit would...
I'm attempting to look at heat transfer in structural members from a fire load using ABAQUS/Standard. I want to be able to input gas temperatures in the cavity (which I have found I can make using *cavity) and watch the effect on the enclosed member over time.
What I'm trying to learn is:
a)...
