Hello,
I started using the heat transfer option in CAE the other day. I created a simple 3D bar with a fixed temperature BC at each end (in this case 0 and 150 degrees).
In all the other FEA programs I have used the surface with no loads or boundary conditions is considered to be adiabatic or...
Hello All,
I was looking for more ways to squeeze computational performance on my machine when I came across a few press releases from nVidia, Simulia and ATI saying that Abaqus 6.11 is OpenCL compliant and supports GPU computing.
I updated the drivers for my ATI Firepro v8800 and used a 3rd...
Hello,
I would like to be able to plot model maximum values (e.g. maximum stress, maximum displacement) versus time in an XYdata chart/curve. So far I have found no model maximum values in the Field or History output options. For instance the Max Mises field output option requires a specific...
Hello,
I am defining a time dependent load in Abaqus CAE using the tabular option and it becomes unresponsive after I copy & and paste the two data columns in and click 'OK' At first my data was about 30,000 rows long but then I reduced it to 3,000 rows. It still hangs even though I left it 16...
Hello,
I am trying to determine the stiffness of a part I simulated with enforced displacement. My first method was to use Hooke's law F=kx but applying an external non-pressure force was problematic in Abaqus. So I think I may have found a way using modal frequencies, but I have doubts if my...
