    Max Envelope of Von Mises for all Steps, error with name visualization

    I have a model wherein I have 92 cases of Linear Perturbation Static steps. Each step produces a map of Von Mises Stresses S. I want a composite map , showing the Max Von Mises Stresses over all the 92 steps. I used toolset "create field outputs from frames " in the vsiualization mode. There...

    Mean current density for a marine pile surrounded by MUDSTONE

    Hi All, I would like to know the required current density for a marine pile in seawater surrounded by Mudstone Formation. The Mudstone description is as follows : " Very weak to moderately weak, massive, light brown greenish gray and rosy brown, fine grained MUDSTONE. Extremely close spaced to...

    Load Combinations in Abaqus.

    Hi All, I know of only one way of affecting the load combinations . Accomplished by running each step as linear perturbation and then applying combinations in visualization mode. Create field outputs from frames. Is there any simpler way, other than the one described above? Rgds Shindey

    Trouble copying a model

    Hi, In a particular .cae file , I'm having trouble copying any model residing in the model database of cae file. The error reported is that Module in which the copy macro is being run is not appropriate. Note that in other .cae databases the model copy command does work, but Iam having trouble...

    Generating Point Loads in Abaqus through Excel

    I'm wondering whther there is any easy way of inputting joint loads into Abaqus, directly from a list either in text format or from excel sheet. Iam aware that it is possible to generate joint loadings through python scripting, so that I can write a python script to read off from a text file or...

    Point Load input in ABAQUS

    There are 6 points to be loaded with load sixtet(FX,FY,FZ,MX,MY,MZ). I have been provided the loads in tabular formats. If I want to input the load in ABAQUS, I have to create 12 loads. 6 point x 2 loads for each point( one for inputting the concentrated force, and the other one for inputting...

    On Anchor Bolt design as per ACI 318-04

    Hi, Am I wrong in assuming that ACI 318 14 deals with Shear design of anchor bolts in which the shear force is in a direction of critical edge. Can I neglect the cases where the shear force is directed away from the critical edge? What about the case when it is not clear that Shear is neither...

    AutoCAD reports error in reading the .sat file created by Abaqus CAE

    Hi, When I export a part or assembly from Abaqus as a .sat file, the .sat file is unable to be read in by AutoCAD. Is this s common error and is there any way around it? Rgds Shindey

    Critical Load in column using plated elements.

    Hi, I attempted a buckling column analysis in abaqus. The problem in question was a cantilever column, 3m long ,Hollow square section 100mm x 100mm and 10mm thk. The material used is steel. The theoretical Euler Critical compression value comes out to be 276kN. I did this in two ways. Firstly...

    Importing a Model from Input File, Load Statement gets disturbed

    Hi, On importing a model in the form of .inp file, the load definitions gets distorted. The details are explained below The Load definition in the input file looks like this:- ** LOADS ** ** Name: Frc_Grav_Col1 Type: Concentrated force *Cload, op=NEW Col1, 1, 291000. Col1, 2, -1083000...

    P-DELTA effect and K value

    We are having some disagreement over whether or not to use a K=2.0 for a cantilever column. My view is that we should use BOTH PD as well as K value. The structure is thick slab resting on four columns. The slab is about a meter thick, the columns are 500mm dia 20mm thk.The height of column is...

    A general question on Abaqus Documentation

    Hi All, I don't know whether it is appropriate to post this but I'll go ahead . I have started reading Abaqus User's Manual, strictly on a "as and when needed". If I have seen the topic to be read, on some videos or I have hands-on experience with, then the user's manual is very informative...

    Getting stresses in a Coordinate system other than the local coordinate system of the elements

    Hi All, Is it possible to get stresses in user-defined directions rather than in the local coordinate system of the elements? I know that there is a provision for generating a user defined coordinate system in the visualization mode , but I cannot decipher the use of it. Rgds Shindey

    Getting the total magnitude of the load applied.

    Hi, If I apply pressure load on a surface, is there a way in which I can query abaqus to show me the magnitude of the FORCE generated by pressure load? Rgds Shindey

    Importing Surface Model from AutoCAD in .sat format

    Hi, When I import .sat 3D surface model prepared in AutoCAD, I get a problem of ill-formed edges.Repair with stitch doesn't work. The ill-formed edges are seen only on some part of the model, whereas other edges turn out okay. I tried whole lot of permutations in Autocad, in hope that I may...

    Is Merge compulsory in Assembly Module?

    Iam doing a assembly of shell parts.Say part-1(flat plate) and part-2(stiffener). The parts are conventionally welded. If I do the assembly by creating instance of part-1 and "multiple instances" of part-2, then mesh , the mesh shows discontinuity at boundaries between plate and stiffener. If I...

    Show regions where the von mises stress is above 250 N/mm^2

    Hi All, How can I get stress plots only on regions where stresses exceed 250 MPa?The regions below the stress value of 250 MPa should remain gray. Rgds Shindey
