Hello all, I want to ask you if it is possible to import in workbench/spaceclaim an assembly (created in solidworks) that will not have every surface as a separate one. I would like this, because it makes it difficult for the mesher later on but also for being able to manage the model in an...

Hello all, Does anybody have any idea on what would be the methodology to obtain the deflected shape of a structure given the transfer functions at each of its nodes? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I would like to know if there is any list with the differences between ANSYS LS-DYNA and the Standalone LS-DYNA solvers. Thanks

Hello all, I am modeling a sandwich beam made of two isotropic (for the moment) materials, modeled with continuum shell elements. Materials are aluminum and balsa wood. As of now, I capture the stiffness reasonably well, and my next step is to capture the failure. I have tests from three...

Hello all, I am trying to create the ring net seen in the image below. Basically each ring is connected to four of the nine "adjacent rings. I'm trying to come up with a good way to orient everything with the minimum amount of slack before running an FEA. Any idea on the rotation of an...

Hello all, I'm looking to apply response spectra in 3 different directions, however one is not a multiple of the other. As a result I have to define two different spectra. Do I have to run the analysis two times and the combine the results, or is there a way to define two response spectra in...

Hi all, When I want to isolate some nodes from my model I do: NSEL,S,LOC,Z,ZMIN,ZMAX NSEL,R,LOC,X,XMIN,XMAX NSEL,R,LOC,Y,XMIN,XMAX NSORT,S,X in order to later use the *GET command. However, some times I run to the following error message: "No NSORT data is available for the selected set"...

Hello all, I want to save to a file (.txt) the nodes from the NSOL that have the max,min X-Component, Y-Component, XY-Component of Stress. Ideally I would like a file with columns like: N#X-ComponentY-ComponentXY-ComponentMises Stress Only thing I can do is go through the: PRNSOL,S,COMP...

Hi all, I'm trying to do a response spectrum for a cantilever plate. The commands I'm using are the following: /TITLE, Plate /PREP7 !Wall Geometry Definition K,1,0,0 K,2,0,100 K,3,24,100 K,4,24,0 A,1,2,3,4 !Material Definition !E=1200ksi MP,EX,1,1200 !ρ=3.14513E-07 kips/in.^3...

Hello all, I've been trying to create an assembly level element set in Python. The closest I've been to it is with the following code. mdb.models[Modelname].rootAssembly.Set(elements=mdb.models[Modelname].rootAssembly.instances['Rubber-1'].elements.getFromLabel(('Rubber-1',(12))...

Hello all, I want to write the xyreport for the place with the maximum absolute logarithmic strain at the last increment. Until now I have done this: reportnameandpath2= 'E:/AbaqusWorkDir/Layer study/Reports/LEP-' + Modelname + '.txt' session.viewports['Viewport...

Hi all, I am wondering if it saves time to run jobs in ABAQUS in a non GUI environment. If yes, can I run the script I'm using in the GUI to create and run my models? If yes again, how do I do it? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello all, I have noticed that if I define only tangential contact between two surfaces, ABAQUS does not allow penetration for those surfaces. Does that mean that no normal contact definition is needed (i.e. the normal contact definition is inherent in the normal contact definition)? Thank you...

Hello all, I want to define a set with a node with python. As I'm willing to conduct parametric studies the position of this set will always be changing. I have tried the following mdb.models[Modelname].rootAssembly.Set(name='Set-3', nodes=...

Hello all, I would like to ask your input about a moving plane in ABAQUS. What I want to describe is the different heat flux between my object above and below this moving plane. The plane can be at an angle and I would like it to move upwards (dZ>0) at a certain speed, then downwards (dZ<0) at...

Hello all, I want to input my material properties through my python script from a tabulated file (Located in C:/Temp/Steel.txt). The command needs a tweak after the table portion of the following command: mdb.models[Modelname].materials[Steel].Elastic(table=((200000.0, 0.3, 20), )) however I...

Hello all, I'm looking for heat transfer coefficients for neoprene rubber (or any rubber in that case). Mainly: 1. Conductivity 2. Emissivity 3. Specific Heat 4. Convection coefficient with air (not enclosed air) Thank you very much! It is greatly appreciated! If the reference is provided...

Hello all, I would like to ask if you know of any good reference or method on how to choose the parameters defining hysteresis for hyperelastic material models. Namely, the stress scaling factor, the creep parameter, the effective stress exponent, and the creep strain exponent. I want to...

Hello all, I would like to ask you if it's possible in abaqus to assign a part X,Y,Z coordinates so that no movements are to be made when assembling. I'm trying to use the keyword way of doing things, and the solids I'm "Stacking" are rectangular. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I am have a shell part and I am trying to find the python commands for the following actions: 1. Partition face - Auto-partition 2. Seed part - Approximate global size 3. Mesh controls - Quad-dominated Thanks a lot in advance.
