Defining a circle

Submitted by JayZ900807 on

Hello everyone.

Does anyone know how to define a circle (a face) in the input file. I have been able to define the basic shape of a semi-circle, but i am having difficulty with generating the nodes and elements.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank You!

Importing user defined input files

Submitted by JayZ900807 on
Hi everyone.



I am using abaqus 6.8 and have been able to import Abaqus's user defined input files (For example, the skew sensitivity of shell poblem). However, lately i have been unable to do this, and i am really unsure of why. Now when i try to open the files, I get an error message saying:



WARNING: Empty part PART-1. This occurred while reading keyword options within part definition.

Help with parametric modelling

Submitted by JayZ900807 on

I want to perform a parametric study, where the geometry of

an object is varied. However, the only catch is that I need to be able to do

this by parametrizing the input file. I have given an example below to more

clearly explain, what I am trying to say. 

Let’s just say i have a cube, and i want to define the

distance between two opposite faces by a parameter called 'length', with a value

of 20mm. I know that this would be written in the input file as: 

*PARAMETER

length = 20.

Parametric modelling help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hiya.

I want to run example paramtrized input files on Abaqus. I do this by importing it as a model. However, when i do this, an error message comes up saying:

WARNING: The input file contains one or more data items which have been parameterized. Parameterized input files can not yet be imported into Abaqus/CAE. This occurred while scanning input file for parameterized data. The input file will not be imported.

I really need to overcome this problem. Is there anyone out there that can help?
