Hello, Can anyone please confirm (or provide reference materials) concerning the permissible (failure pressure/MOP) ratio of corroded pipe section for class location, 2, 3 and 4 by 49 CFR 192 (and ASME B31.8). This ratio basically dictates the need for repair criteria for corroded pipes...

Can anyone guide me to any source giving some general statistical information concerning tailings dams systems. I want to get some sense (imagination) about average properties of these huge geo-systems concerning Geometry [ultimate height, type (upstream/downstream), slope of the embankment...

Hello I have Mohr-Coloumb strength parameters ,friction angle and cohesion, obtained based on Triaxial Test results ( axisymmetric loading case). Can the Direct shear test parameters be obtained from the Triaxial Shear strength Parameters.If yes, Please refer me to the related literature Thanks

Any one can give guidlines on assigning Hourglass Stiffness whose use is associated with using Reduced Integration elements. I completely do not know how to specify appropriate and convenient values for obtaining convergence without affecting accurecy. The matter is limitedly explained in the...

My model has many rectangular simple shapes therefore if I plot the dimensions lines it will become very busy and messy. I thought of just showing the axes numbered and scaled in the model screen with only few major dimensions I add on the model . This is illustrative enough. can I show the axes...

Is there anyway to show the dimensions in the visualisation module or at least in any other module other than the Sketch. Thanks

I was in the visualization mode animating the results and extracting some graphs and suddenly the model disappear and I got the message in the ABAQUS message box underneath " Warning: Operation did not complete due to a memory allocation failure" What is the best cure for this issue

I have in some cases huge jobs that requires almost 40 hours to be completed, but sometime the program crashes while the job is still runing, . In this case I had to do EndTask to ABAQUS and reopen it with the job recovery. I can see that the Job is still runing. I went to the job Monitor but...

I keep getting this message which I cannot understand deeply its meaning "Solver problem. Zero pivot when processing D.O.F. 8 of 45 nodes. The nodes have been identified in node set" (as far as i know that this means that there are zeros diagonals in the stifness matrix which usually reult...

My job is aborted because of the following message "The area of 1 elements is zero, small, or negative. Check coordinates or node numbering, or modify the mesh seed. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemAreaSmallNegZero". I went to the Color Code to highlight this element but...

If on to apply BCs on specific many elements scattered in different spots in the model, one should deal with orphan mesh rather than having many partions. Now can one transfer the part mesh to an orphan part mesh without need to reassigning the sections and recreating the sets that had been...

In my 6.5.1 version I am trying to run an input file of a job developed in 6.4.1 I am getting the Message "Error in job-1: Error checking out ABAQUS license". how can I overcome this issue thanks

I am trying to work with the existing example in scripts user Manual under section 8.10.1 Finding the maximum value of von Mises stress in the user interface script manual on how to run a script and find Max Mises They wrote the script abaqus fetch job=odbMaxMises.py which suppose to operate...

I have a python script file which i want to implement to my ODB session. I open my ODB file and then I went to File Run Script and then I selected my file However the CAE closes immeditely and an error is decleared. How can I treat this matter please.. any specific procedure to implement a...

hello I am trying to Plug-in one of the scripts already existing (and ready for use) in Process Automation Portal http://www.abaqus.com/PAPortal/ .First, I open my ODB file (which needs to be communicated with the script in the Portal), then in ODB I went to Plug-in then ABAQUS then...

It is considered in the example http://www.abaqus.com/solutions/tb_pdf/TB-06-SLOPE-1.pdfI that the ratio of the Mises stress at a point to the maximum Mises stress that can be generated at the existing pressure (called DP= Yield Factor) will reach 1 when the material point undergoes yielding...

I am learning Python... while going through a simple example in the Doc I have copied the statements below into a file called distance.py in my local directory C. Then (as instructed in the ABAQUS Doc) I typied the following at the system prompt: abaqus python distance.py 30 40 but the...

Hi Is there any way where I can creat a field variable representing the second order work ( dsij.deij ) dsij is the incremental stress tensor and deij is incremental strain tensor Thanks

Hello I am willing to use the scripting interface in ABAQUS for post processing the results and getting an appropriate output variable. The new variable I am willing to obtain is the ratio SF=[Mises stress at a point (resisting) / Maximum Mises stress (operating) at that point]. I never used...

Hello Is it possible to display the dimension lines of the model in assembly , part , and more importantly in visualization module..? It seems that one can only display the dimensions of the model in the Sketch module. I am working with 6.5.1 version Thank you
