    Import Geometry - Too many parts

    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...

    Obtaining structure deflected shape

    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!

    Modeling Shear Failure in Sandwich Beam Core

    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...

    Ring net modeling

    Thanks for the response. I'm actually looking for the geometry where the slack will be minimal. As a results there is zero load in this condition. Answering your questions. 1. Yes, the rings are in the same plane. 2. Yes, the rings are in the same plane. I'm not looking for an "easy" model...

    Ring net modeling

    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...

    Response Spectra in different Directions

    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...

    No NSORT data is available for the selected set

    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"...

    Get and Save Maximum and Minimum Stresses from Nodal Solution

    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...

    Response Spectrum of a Cantilever Plate

    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...

    Create assembly level element set

    This is how much closer I got to having it done, still getting error. Different this time. -> "Feature creation failed." mdb.models[Modelname].rootAssembly.Set(name='Neop', elements=(mdb.models[Modelname].rootAssembly.instances['Rubber-1'].elements[12],))

    Create assembly level element set

    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))...

    Abaqus python get maximum absolute principal logarithmic strain

    Yes, I have checked the example. The problem I'm running into is that I get the following error: "An assembly level elset named RUBBER-1.SET-1 does not exist in the output database 22a.odb" When I go to the .odb I can see the abovementioned element set. Any idea?

    Abaqus python get maximum absolute principal logarithmic strain

    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...

    ABAQUS without GUI

    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!

    Normal and Tangential Contact

    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...
