    Plotting displacement for a 3D body

    Hi all, I would like to know if it is possible to plot x-y-z displacement for one coordinate of a 3D body (e.g. centroid). If yes, can the coordinate be inputted instead of visually selected? Thanks for any help, max

    Abaqus/Standard 6.8-2 Job Error - Too many attempts for this increment

    Hi All, I am having some trouble getting a converged solution for my hand/wrist model. Here are some details of the model: 1) The model has 58 parts total: 29 for trabecular bone of the hand/wrist and 29 for cortical. 2) The parts representing trabecular bone are constrained to their...

    Meshing an orphan part

    Hi all, I have 29 orphan parts that I've imported from Mimics (.inp files). I'd like to know how to mesh these parts using the Mesh module. When I try to use 'Mesh -> Part' it says an orphan part can only be modified with the 'Edit Mesh Toolkit'. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Max

    FEA of Human Anatomy

    Hi all, I'm developing a FE model of the human hand and wrist. using the Truegrid meshing software right now to mesh the individual bone surfaces. Will then use ABAQUS for analysis. I'm having difficulty creating meshes with separate layers for the cortical and cancellous bone layers. If...

    Edit Mesh Toolset

    Hi, I have 29 orphan meshes that each represent a bone in the hand , wrist and forearm. I'm using the Edit Mesh Toolset to change the triangular shell meshes to solid tetrahedral ones. However, I'd like to resize the orphan meshes before I do the conversion. Reading through the ABAQUS user...

    Question about using ABAQUS input (.inp) files

    Hi all, I currently have 29 ABAQUS input files, each one representing a bone in the human hand, wrist or arm. I imported them into ABAQUS today and noticed that I wasn't able to integrate them all onto one global coordinate system, such that I can view my complete model instead of each part...

    How to create a solid/shell from a wireframe part?

    Hi all, I've imported wireframe mesh files (.igs) into ABAQUS and have been trying to convert them to both shell and solid surfaces. I'm fairly new to ABAQUS, so unfortunately I've been stuck on this for a while now. I'd appreciate any advise anyone can give me. Thanks, Max
