op2 from MSC Marc?
Dear iMechanicians,
I wonder if anybody knows how to get an op2 file (MSC.Nastran) from MSC.Marc. Is something like that possible? Or do you know some available converter? Potentially, fil or odb file from ABAQUS or rst file from ANSYS could help as well. But I would expect there some way within the MSC product family...
Thanks a lot for any idea.

hello everybody:
i am trying to do a project on load controlled cyclic test. By using the Sin wave, i want to define the load.
If i want to define the load range to be 100 to 1000 how can i define the amplitude?
Also, as come to the platic deformation, do i need to give any criterion or anything particular?
thanks
anyone has some idear can you send to xiaojiao_yu [at] brown.edu?
VUMAT and ALE in ABAQUS
Hi all,
Here I encoutered a error in ABAQUS when I include ALE with VUMAT. When ALE was not included with VUMAT, my job can work well while with the combination of VUMAT and ALE, the job cann't work any more due to a "Signal 8" error. And if I use a built-in material model and at the same time ALE, a job can work. Furthermore, element failure is considered in all of the cases.
Anyone can give some suggetion? Thanks in advance!

ALE in ABAQUS and LSDYNA
Hi all,
Can anyone give a description on the diffrence of ALE in ABAQUS and LSDYNA? And also the difference between r-adaptivity and ALE in ABAQUS. It seems ALE in ABAQUS means the same with r-adaptivity in LSDYNA while “ALE” means diffrently in the two codes.
Thanks a lot!
When and where the stress objective rates are used in ABAQUS software?
Hi everyone,
I have a question about the objectivity tensor in ABAQUS software. Below is my question.
What is the best software
I see that people talk a lot about ANSYS over here and that is the software that I use during my works at university. However, when I read some papers or attend some conferences I hear about other finite element programs such as ABACUS and NASTRAN. Besides that I've also seen other open-source codes such as SALOME, Code-Aster, etc...
What do you think is the best software to make finite element analisys, or if it's difficult to say wich one is best, what are the weak and strong points of each software?
Abaqus/Explicit VUMAT tensor components ordering
Hello everyone,
I am coding a VUMAT for Abaqus/Explicit. I was wondering if the tensor components ordering was ALWAYS different from the one used in ABAQUS/Implicit, or if the special ordering was valid only for the C3D8R element.

Hi, has anyone tried the bushing example from abaqus' problems manual? The full name of the section is: transient loading of a viscoelastic bushing. The job is aborted due to some unknown set. Thanks.
