Hi everyone,

I am trying to get the history output of
strain and stress tensor components at a node. However after analysis is
finished no such data are saved in the result section. I think Abaqus
only gives the stress and strain for elements and not at nodes. Any help
would be highly appreciated. Please consider that I am a new abaqus
use.

Thank you in advance

Hello again

Im running a simulation on Abaqus and i got the next text message:

Abaqus Error: The executable C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.11-PR3\exec\standard.exe 

aborted with system error code 884. 

Please check the .dat, .msg, and .sta files for error messages if the files 

exist.  If there are no error messages and you cannot resolve the problem, 

please run the command "abaqus job=support information=support" to report and 

save your system information

I want to find effect of transverse crack on rotating shaft by using ANSYS software, I trying modal analysis but couldn't get results, so plz if somebody have tutorials for modal analysis of cracked rotor then plz send me.

Dear All,

Anyone know how to assign surface contact properties to all elements in Abaqus?

i.e. all elements have contact (cohesive) properties on each boudary, so a crack propagates following those boundaries without defining pre-known crack path.

Does Abaqus support those automatic insertion fuction since manually inserting properties to all elementary boundaries is non sense...

Thank you in advance,

Joon

 I am using XFEM in ABAQUS to simulate crack growth from one material to another. Although the crack passes through the interface, the simulation stops after crack growth of few more elements with this error:

"THE FRACTURE CRITERION f=1.5400 AT ELEMENT 2469, THE DAMAGE INITIATION TOLERANCE HAS BEEN EXCEEDED AND CUTBACK IS REQUIRED."

 This element is the one right next to the crack front.

 I have tried to increase the damage initiation tolerance > 0.5 and the crack grows one more element and then same error.

Hi All

I am trying to obtain SIF value for a stationary crack using XFEM in Abaqus.

I am using the 5th contour value and plotting against distance from crack front using excel.
The values are from History Output.

 I am getting a very funny graph that is going up and down.
