FEA of the Tibial Post of a Knee Prosthesis

Submitted by Simpleware on

Tibial post failure has been reported in several retrieval studies for knee surgeries using posterior-stabilized (PS) prostheses. Fractures of the tibial post are considered to be caused by high stress-induced destruction (bending and tensile forces). The design of polyethylene inserts requires a certain level of plastic deformation to take place without the risk of deformation. The design of the tibial post varies markedly among manufacturers.

Abaqus/Python - commands to find nearest node to a given point

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

Hi,
I need to write a python comman code to find a node (in a given set), nearest to a given point.
The code now looks as follows:
import sys
sys.path.insert(10, 
r'c:/SIMULIA/Abaqus/6.13-3/code/python/lib/abaqus_plugins/findNearestNode')
import nearestNodeModule
nearestNodeModule.hideTextAndArrow()
a = mdb.models['FibreModel'].rootAssembly
n1 = a.instances['Fibre0-1'].nodes
pickedSelectedNodes = n1[0:599]
g=nearestNodeModule.findNearestNode(xcoord=101, ycoord=106, zcoord=58, name='', selectedNodes=pickedSelectedNodes, instanceName="'Fibre2-1'")
