ABAQUS

Modelling 2D instead of 3D in ABAQUS

Submitted by parisa on

Hi,

I modeled a beam with a hole in ABAQUS in 2D and now I would like to stick one plate to the beam surface.

I can do it easily in 3D but actually I do not like to jump 3D because It will make analyses very hard to follow.

My question is that, Is there anyway to stick a the plate to beam in 2D in ABAQUS and avoid 3D?

Thank you,

abaqus, cel, coupled eulerian lagrangian, fluid flow

Submitted by Ledjani on

I am trying to model a tube which is filled with liquid that is being crushed.  I am using Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian to model the problem in abaqus, and there are a few distortions/errors in the model.  I am using symmetry to model only quarter of the model.  The liquid actually comes out from the sides of the tubes as the two attached pictures show.  

 

stepTime VS. totalTime

Submitted by mmoriche on

Hello everyone,

 I have a problem with one user subroutine.

The fact is that, debugging the subroutine I see the totaltime different from the steptime. I am using just one step and the .inp implementation is veryfied with a different user subroutine, so totaltime and steptime should be exactly the same (but they are not...)

 

The value of the total time is around 1e-8 and the value of the steptime is around 1e-55.

 

Could anyone give me a clue?

 

Thanks in advance.

Abaqus - evaluate stress at point (x, y, z)

Submitted by geotech on

Hi everyone,



I would like to evaluate the stress value (e.g  Mises) at a given point (x, y, z) within a 3D model. I cannot force this point to be a node. The problem is modeled with Element Type (C3D4).



Is there a built-in command I can issue in the input file of Abaqus to have Abaqus output the desired value to the output file?



Or, is there a python script I can use for this purpose?



Thank you,
