    DISP Subroutine and NLGEOM

    Hello all, I have recently found an unexpected irregularity which I can not seem to get around. Basically, what I am trying to do is seemingly very simple. I have a subroutine which allows me to enter a target node position to apply an unknown displacement to a specific node. I say unknown...

    Contact algorithm performance?

    Hello, I am running a Dynamic Explicit contact based simulation that contains 2 deformable bodies and 36 rigid bodies. One of the parts will only ever see contact with 18 of the rigid bodies and the other part will have contact with the other 18. The two deformable parts will also be in...

    Controlling a 3d path of a rigid body?

    Hi all, I am looking at simulating a process and require to control the path of a rigid body. Only translational movement is required. It will be along a path defined by unevenly spaced points, at a constant velocity. Does anyone know how this can be achieved? Thanks

    Is it possible to change connector behavior?

    Hi, I have been working on the same problem for quite some time. I have attempted a variety of ways to solve the problem but have not had much luck. The current method I am hoping is possible requires the modification of connector behavior definition. Basically, I have a simulation set up with...

    Adding fastener at the beggining of restart analysis?

    Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to add a fastener at the start of a restart analysis. Im using the following code to try; however, I get a "system error code 5". Can someone tell me if it is possible, and i just have something going wrong, or no its not possible? I would have thought if...

    Adding elements in Abaqus Explicit

    Hello everyone, Just wondering is someone can provide me with some direction on a problem I am trying to solve. In short, I would basically like to know if there is a way to turn on an element, in particular a fastener, at a specific step in the simulation using Abaqus Explicit. I know this can...
