hi all,

       i am very new to work in abaqus pde enviornment. i am trying to do pin on disc wear simulation. i had created a model, parts,sets surfaces and applied boundary conditions on the model and save it in.cae file. i am now trying to open the modeldatabase from the script environment

the comman i am using mdb=openMdb(patName+'wear.cae')

when i am compiling this command the database is opened in the GUI but the features i created are not appearing there. please help me. please knidly let me know where i am doing mistake.

Buildings subsidence due to clay ‘shrink-swell': UK research highlights link to weather and consequences for insurers

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Will home owners get that sinking feeling this summer?



Are we in for a summer of cracked buildings? It all depends on the weather. Research from the British Geological Survey (BGS) has highlighted the importance of rainfall and temperature on the incidence of clay shrink-swell, a precursor to subsidence, in the UK. For many, the cool, wet conditions we have experienced so far this summer may be just what is needed to keep their house in order.

non linear analysis of a cylinder

Submitted by shabber hussain on

Hi...

I am working on post buckling of a cylinder in ANSYS. I have included imperfections using NLGEOM command. I applied a load which is slightly higher than eigen value buckling analysis and i am using displacement controlled analysis using arc length method. I am getting the following error after certain time

"solution not converged

Arc length  value has reached its minimum allowed value

Run terminated"

Can anyone please help me how to resolve this issue.....
