Generic Algorithm in Abaqus

Sebastian Kroedel's picture

Hi,

I'm doing an Optimization in Abaqus by using a generic Algorithm. This is implemented by a Python-Script which varies some parameter, submitts the job and at last get's some fitness-value out of the .odb file. This works very good but after some time and generations (which is not always the same) the System crashes and the error message:

"GUI detected error while waiting for ipc connection to close. ABAQUS
Error: ABAQUS/CAE kernel exited with an error" occurs.

I'm running Abaqus 6.9.3 on a Windows 7 operating system. 

Does anyone have some experience with this kind of error and has perhaps some suggestion to solve this problem?

Thank you

 

Sebastian

Elliptical Inclusion

I solved the Problem it was some how related to hardware acceleration http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=81199.

At the moment I'm Optimizing an elliptical Inclusion in a matrix. Im simulating a 2D plate under plane stress.  For a starting I only considered elastic deformation.

For comparism i would like to know if somebody knows where to find an analytical solution for  an elliptical inclusion in a matrix under plane stress. The Young's modulus of the Inclusion might differ from those of the matrix and the length of the plate might be asuumed as infinitly large compared to the elliptical inclusion.

Furthermore the solution for an elliptical hole in a thin plate under plane stress might also be interesting for me.

Thank you,

Sebastian


dear Sebastian i am

dear Sebastian

i am looking for a sample on how we can perform parametrically model our structure so we can use it during the optimization?canyou give me any advise or sample
