ABAQUS

The Abaqus documentation, available here:

https://abaqus-docs.mit.edu/2017/English/SIMACAEMODRefMap/simamod-c-inp…

states the following:

Certain keywords must be used in conjunction with other keywords; forexample, the *ELASTIC and *DENSITY keywords must be used in conjunction with the *MATERIAL keyword. These related keywords must be grouped in a block in the input file; unrelated keywords cannot be specified within this block. 

Problem Description/Question: 

I model a cantilever beam with 2D plane stress elements. 

The left end of the beam is clampled (encastre).

In Step 1, I use a coupling constraint U2=coupled to apply a vertical load on the right (loaded) end of the model.

In Step 2, I use a different coupling constraint U1=coupled to apply a traction load on the loaded end of the model.

Each constrain is defined with different reference point, different surface, totally independent of each other. 

Hello colleagues! 

I am facing a very strange phenomenon in Abaqus 2019. Setting up a transient consolidation analysis, and despite converging and showing job as complete, no output is written to the job at all. Needless to say, I am requesting standard field output every n=1 steps and the analysis is 10 increments or so. It's quite frustrating to see your mesh disappear when you expect to see nice colors. If this ever happened to you please do share how you went about it. 

Cheers,
