    How to measure the area of individual elements on a model?

    I have an analysed model in Abaqus. Is it possible to measure the area of each of the elements associated on the model?

    Finding the stress or strain on each individual node?

    I have just submitted a model for analysis and got the results odb. I was just wondering is it possible for the analysis to tell me the exact stress or strain of an exact node on a model?

    Which elements lie on a particular face

    I have the .inp file from a typical analysed model in ABAQUS. Detailing the element and nodes associated with creating the element, as follows: *Element, type=C3D8I 1, 49, 42, 41, 66, 121, 114, 113, 138 2, 30, 29, 26, 25, 102, 101, 98, 97 3, 60, 48, 33, 32, 132, 120, 105...

    Formatting a .inp file so it easily read

    I have a .inp file from ABAQUS that I want a script in CATIA to read. The problem is that it presents itself in a format which my macro cannot read. An example of this is: *Node 1, 0., 20., 0. 2, -100., 20., 0. 3...

    Find area of face in mm?

    I am trying to work out the area of all the faces on a model. I see you can do this by measure inertia and measure item. The answer always appears in m^2 and rounds it off to 3 decimal points, is there a way to give the exact answer in mm^2 or give the exact answer in m^2?

    CATIA V5 R20 Associative Interface

    I am trying to import a model from catia to abaqus using the associative interface. When I attempt the automatic method nothing appears in the abaqus viewport, when i try the manual method I get the error message: "file may be corrupt or not a valid" "no part and instance was created" I...

    Manual creation of node and element sets in the odb

    Hello, How do I go about manual creating a surface node set and a surface element set in the results output database of an anaylsed part?

    Exporting points from one face at a time?

    Is it possible to export points from one face, edge, vertex at a time? When I go to export a list of points it always chooses the full part body

    Locating the face, edge or vertices when I already know the X,Y,Z co-o

    Hey guys, New to CATScript. I have the x,y,z co-ordinates is there a code that I am able to input into CATScript that will tell me the exact face, edge and vertices that the x,y,z co-ordinates are associated with? Kind regards, Tony
