All,
I have a sub model that I've cut from a larger model. The shape is a square with the whole perimeter as the BC driven by the global model. I am then defining a seam from the middle of the left side into the center of the square (crack). For some reason, the node on the perimeter where the...
All,
I am creating different element and node sets in CAE for use in submodeling.
I need to be able to script the process of picking the correct elements and nodes to be used. The problem is that when I check the replay file, abaqus identifies the elements and nodes by number and when my mesh...
I have a 2D shape for which I want to find the centroidal moment of inertia. When I try to query the mass properties, it only shows Area and Area Centroid. Is it possible to also display the second moment about the centroidal axes for a 2D shape?
I am able to get the moments of inertia for a...
All,
I need to know how abaqus calculates the spacing when it biases seeds/elements. I know the bias ratio is the ratio of the largest size to the smallest size. So it uses the total length of the segment and the number of elements you want to break it into and the bias ratio. Using those...
All,
I would like to display two different types of info on the same viewport. I have many different materials and I've figured out how to color code them all. I can display this on the undeformed shape. I also want to show a contour plot of yield flags (AC YIELD in field options).
I want to...
All,
I would like to use a python graphics package such as matplotlib in my ABAQUS scripts. I think I have matplotlib installed on my machine (Suse linux). How do I implement it in my scripts?
Thanks as always...

All,
I'm new to the forum and needed some direction for abaqus. I want create a material with a graded yield strength in one direction.
I basically have a top layer and bottom layer with yield strengths sigma_1 and sigma_2 respectively. The middle layer needs to have a graded yield strength...
