Dear all,

I want to write a python script for ABAQUS in which I can define a path for post-processing purposes. Getting the nodes which lie on the path is easy because they all lie on one edge, so with

myNodes=myEdge.getNodes()

I get the list of nodes.

Now the problem:

Hello 

I would like to simulate the behavior of an elastomeric ligature used in orthodontic apparatus. I know that its behavior is hyperelastic can anyone hel^p me in the choice of the material property thanks a lot. 

I have built shell model of a wind turbine rotor in Abaqus CAE and i have run modal analysis. I see that the first natural frequency is around 1 Hz which is sensible but the displacements are very small 10^-12 which does not make much sense. Max Displacement in the model is always 1 in modal analysis. I am not sure how it is 10^-12 here. Since, the displacements are so small, I cannot increase the scale factor (Exaggerate) for visualization to see where is the problem.

Hi everyone;

I'm trying to simulate FSW plunge state using Abaqus/Explicit, Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian technique.

As you can see in the picture, NT11, PEV and EVF are calculated. But the problem is that the elements in base metal are not deformed. In other words, the base metal elements which are in contact with PIN remained intact and are not deformed.

Anyone could help me with this?

Following on the previous two webinars on compressor and turbine design for high performance turbochargers, this third and final webinar will highlight the contrasting requirements of high efficiency, high reliability and low manufacturing costs faced by turbocharger manufacturers.

In this session we will highlight how to couple 3D inverse design tools with automatic optimization in order to:

Hi, is there anyone has the experience in modelling and solving masonry structural system ? currently im facing the issue in inputting the data of interaction between the blocks of masonry. i'm trying to model 3 storey masonry (material : Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) ) building in ABAQUS program by implementing 'macro-modelling' technique, where the block size is 200x400mm including 10mm thickness of mortar joint. 

Hi everyone,

I'm working on UEL and studying wave propagation in beam. I have a special purpose beam element defined in UEL which has four nodes.  When the beam is horizontal and a vertical load is being applied, it's working perfectly:
