Hi All For some reason i am not getting the Surface Area properties from the Tools--->Query. I have created a simple 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 cube. When I click on the Mass properties, I can only get Mass properties: Volume: 0.00100 Volume centroid: -0.01000,0.01000,0.0500 Mass: 7.70 Center of...

Hello All I am trying to drill a small part where the rotating drill goes inside the part nearly half of the thickness of the part. So far the simulation worked fine however the elements are deleted from only the first layer of the part mesh not further on (irrespective of the mesh density). I...

Hi All There are two questions please 1) I have two Abaqus Explicit v6.12-2 simulations where i am trying to cut a workpiece. One is turning and the other is drilling and as their names suggest, in turning the workpiece is rotating and the cutter comes in contact axially in the Z axis whereas...

Dear All I have come across this interesting issue. I created all my thermal models and simulated using Abaqus 6.7-1 version to see the displacement. I was very happy with my results until i installed Abaqus 6.10-EF2. The version 6.10-EF2 converted the database. After re-running the simulation...

Hi All I am experiencing a problem with Abaqus 6.12 which i never had using Abaqus 6.7. I have got a node set of 26000 nodes. I used to plot them first within the Abaqus 6.7 GUI in order to extract the data into .RPT file using the Report>XY option. However i am not been able to do this in...

Hi All I have 7 parts (independent) which are assembled together. After running the simulation i am trying to extract the nodal data from the model. Everything seems fine but what i have noticed are the node numbers. That is for every part, the node number starts from zero in the data. What I...

Hi there I am using Abaqus/CAE 6.7-1. Is it possible to label contours? For example if I plot contour lines for temperatures and i want each contour line to be representable for temperature such as a number corresponding to the temerpature should be written between the countour lines. I have...

hi there I am trying to remove a part during a step and i am doing this by using *Model Change, Type = Element, remove The model does works but in Visualization i can not see the part removed physically. It is still showed in the CAE Visualization mode. Is it possible to make the part...

Hi All I am using Abaqus 6.7-1. I have a solid which is assigned Steel properties and I have three Steps. The steel properties needs to remain same for the first two steps where as it should change in the third step. I have defined two materials for this purpose named Steel-1 and Steel-2, and i...

Hi All I have an excel curve with the equation which came out manipulating the heat flux which is reducing with time and with the temperature increase. i.e. Heat flux decreases with time and the temperature increase. I want to model this heat flux in Abaqus and want to model it as per the...

Dear All I have a question if there is any possibility of finding node numbers lying on a surface of a solid model. I have a meshed solid model and i want node numbers of the nodes which are on the surface not the internal ones. Is this possible? Any answers to this will be highly appreciated...

I have bought an AMD phenom Quad core machine with XP 64 bit on. I am having problems in thermal stress analysis. Thermal analysis seems working fine but the displacement model where i am reading the thermal data is not giving proper results. I am comparing the results with the results i had...

Hi got a question if any one can help. whenever i am reading a jpg image. first of all i change it to gray to plot contours on. when I plot contours it comes out to be coloured outlines. i.e. i want to ask how can i restore original colours of the image with the contours still on? any help...

Hi i have read an jpg image using 'imread'. the dimensions comes up as 240x320x3 as per my previous post it was confirmed that 240x320 are X and Y values where as 3 are RGB colors or color depth. I am trying to plot contour on the image using 'contourf' which Matlab is not allowing and saying...

Hi I am new to Matlab and what i am trying to do is to import an image(jpg) and trying to plot contours on it. when i imported the image, its size says 640 320 3 which i dont understand what '3'means. Also when i am trying to plot contours using 'contourf' it comes up with several types of...

Hi all I am doing heat transfer analysis on a machine tool spindle and i want to model effect of varying environmental conditions on it. for e.g. during the day temperature changes from 22C to 25C where as during night it goes from 25C to 23C. I was wondering what is the best way of modelling...

hi all i am doing a thermal analysis on a spindle. spindle got bearings inside. i did some tests on the real machine and i got the temperatures on the spindle surface as 27C running the machine for 1 hour. ambient temp was 23.5C. i dont know the bearing temp because of no access to the bearings...

Hi I am trying to analyse the thermal growth in the CNC machine spindle. spindle has bearings inside that rotates the tool that get fit in between the spindle. I was measuring the temperature at the outside surface of the spindle by running the spindle at 4000rpm. after 10 minutes of running i...

Hi I started making my model and as soon as i finished i realized that my one of the axis is wrong. Currently Y is the vertical axis where as it was supposed to be Z axis. Is there any possibility in ABAQUS 6.7 that i can change them i.e making 'Y' axis 'X' and 'Z' axis 'X'?? I would be...

Hi All I modelled some parts of the machine tool and saved them as three different files. After done so, I imported those parts into my Main part and assembled them. The question arose when I tried to upgrade one of the imported model. I am sure we cannot modify features of the imported parts...
