Before I get to the question, the background. I am solving a 2D plane strain problem. An attached image shows the typical deflections. There are multiple materials and a beam element runs almost horizontally down the center. I have a pretty good handle on what the different options on the...
How do you make Abaqus remember simple little settings?
Example: I often go to odb Display Options and check "Show connectors". I would like this to just always be checked when I open any odb.
Example: When I link viewports I have to go through and check the same options each time that I...
I have a wire feature created at the assemble level. I need to through a python script create a sets of the edges that make up the wire. I have looked at mdb.models['Model-1'].rootAssembly.features['Wire-1'] but because it is a "feature" it does not have "edges" as a property. To create the set...
Is there a way to create nonlinear displacement constraints? In the past I have used constraint equations to control displacement (interaction module>>constraints>>create>>equation) but this method only allows you to enter a linear relationship.
In a simple example what I would like to do...
I currently use Abaqus for all my FE work. I don't actually use SolidEdge, but have heard that it can do FEA analysis. I have also be cautioned about trusting FEA packages lumped in with CAD software.
My questions is does anyone actually use SolidEdge for FEA? What do they think? How far can...
I would like to apply periodic bounary condition in Abaqus CAE to a square/rectangular RVE. I know many have used the *EQUATION in the input file, but I need to keep this in CAE and avoid directly altering .inp files. I know others have suggested Interaction >> Cyclic Symmetry. Which seems great...
