Hi,
I wanted to run a simulation in ABAQUS, but it quits saying the quality of some elements is poor. But, for my purpose, if I need to run the analysis with the very same mesh, is it somehow possible to turn off that error message and continue the analysis? I couldn't find any way to turn off...
Hi,
I want to model a 3D elasto-plastic beam and calculate the axial strains. The Beam4 is described as Elastic beam and Beam24 although named as Plastic, is for thin walled beam.
Please help me, which beam I should use. Because, with elasto-plastic properties and Beam4 element, the problem...
Hello,
Is it possible to get the results at the gauss/integration points directly, instead of the results at nodes or elements (which are interpolation of results at a few gauss points).
I need to know this urgently. Thank you very much.
Hi!
I want to know what is the default value of coefficient of friction used in the contact problems. It is not specified in the manual. As well as, for defining a smooth contact, it is written to put mu=0. But should I also put TAUMAX =0 for smooth contact?
Thankyou very much in advance!
Hello,
I want to model a helical circular cylinder(I hope I am clear) with continuum elements. There is, lets say a cut in the cross section which should always face the axis of the helix.
I tried it by making an area as required and (VDRAG)dragging it along a helical line (which is locus of...
Thank you very much. As I told in my previous post, that when I try to run some contact problem on ANSYS 10.0, it just crashes without any warning or error messages (neither in log file nor in err file). I tried to run the same problem on other system with ANSYS 10.0 installed, but the problem...
I want to do a contact problem analysis and I am using ANSYS 10.0 version. Even while doing the tutorials, the ANSYS just crashes when solve command is given. Then I tried a macro from net, again it crashed. So, I thought of trying it on version 9. And it works on version 9. Does anyone know if...
I want to get the normal vector of an area selected. In the *get command, three vectors are given, Principal orientation X,Y and Z vectors. But I think that those are related to inertia. So, please tell me how to get the normal vector of an area (plane ofcourse), defined previosly.
Thank you...
If somebody can tell me how to get the locations at the integration points of an element and stress and strain at each of them (inside a perticular element not the closest to a node as given in the manual), it will be very helpful.
Thank you very much.
