    about the sandwich models

    I posted a thread here before. I improved the model. But still some questions left. a sandwich model, 3 layers(shell-solid-shell)should contact each other with no gap. I briefly explain what I did in HM. midsurface the model, then using 3d->element offset->no offset, thickness 1mm, 1 layer. A...

    How to select layers

    a new model with solid-solid-solid layers, a sandwich model. My target is to assign the external 2 layers to a material with specific stiffness while the core layer to another material. When assigning sections, because of those 3 layers are all solid layers, I can separeate them actually. I can...

    "Error: Unable to complete File write." Could someone help me?

    the model is just for perliminary desing. so a simplified model also it is used for training because i am a newbie in this area.

    total Thickness=element T

    Ok. T here I dont think it means thickness and if means Type also non-sense. What shuold it be.

    "Error: Unable to complete File write." Could someone help me?

    OK, thanks for reply. I do Modal Dynamic analysis. with max 6 DOF. The free space 112 GB. Usually, ODB file has just 2000KB then quit. Does ABAQUS predict the size of ODB or other relevant files in advance before it starts to solve.

    "Error: Unable to complete File write." Could someone help me?

    I already searched the keyword on Google. Some solution to this is have enough authority to run the problem and have enough disk space like 100Gb availabe. What if the above 2 conditions met but the error keep happening. Could someone give other solutions to this error. The full text of error...

    total Thickness=element T

    hi, all. Question again. In HM, in 2d/3d page, element offset panel, in the subpanel of solid/shell layers, there is an option to setup a value of total thickness. What does "element T" mean here? Could someone help me answer it? thanks in advance

    Help! To create a shell-solid-shell model with HM

    stupid question, I worked with my bad model (which I thought it works) for 2 days. Found out the problem this noon because the results seem wired. I correct the model. first use 2d->ele offset create a shell layer, then use 3d->ele offset to create a solid layer. In abaqus the graphical model...

    Help! To create a shell-solid-shell model with HM

    hi, I am a new engineer working for a german car company. My current assignment is to analyse a model. I need to create a 3 layers model with steel-plastics-steel, namely a sandwich model. I midsurfaced my model created in CATIA V5, using 3d(pannel)->element offset(subpanel) buildup a solid...
