Hi there, I've a question regarding the field strain outputs in Abaqus viewer. I'm performing a bending operation of a steel pipe around a reel. My question is with regards to the fact that when using the Max Principal Strains option in the field outputs, the strains are all positive, even in...

Hi there, I'm trying to do some analysis to calculate electrical stress distributions in cable insulation (novice). The element type i'm using is the PLANE230, in order to apply a current to the nodes of the internal diameter of the insulation. My question is, do i need to have some sort of...

hi there, I am just wondering if any users have carried out a two-way heat transfer analysis? I want to apply a heat source to a piece of wire in ansys simulation and take into account the convection currents surrounding it from CFX. I can see that it is possible to apply a 'cfx temperature'...

Hi there, Working in the cable industry and looking for a tutorial / guide to creating macros in hypermesh? if any person has good suggestion, would be very appreciated. thanks, m.

Hi there, Does anyone have experience of carrying out a helical sweep / extrude within Hypermesh? Thanks! m

Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help? I'm trying to find a way of getting an analysis to terminate anutomatically when a spring element is crushed to a predetermined strain / displacement. I guess its along the lines of specifying some sort of constraint between the reference nodes of the...

Hi there, Just a fundamental question which i hope someone may have the time to answer. I'm trying to do some complex number calculations. I'm not really familiar with this but have found some good tutorials and so have do ok so far! My question is: Is it possible to find the phase angle by...

Hi there, I'm hoping someone may be able to help with an emag question... I'm using emag to calculate the induced voltage from one 'loaded' power cable onto an adjacent unloaded cable. I've used the AZ VOLT option on the conductor to which i'm applying the current. However, I'm not sure as to...

Hi there, New user to Ansys Emag here. I just have a simple question regarding the selection of maxwell surfaces. Is the general idea to select (flag) the air elements surrounding any magnetic surfaces (ie steel) or to choose the magnetic elements themselves? Thanks very much for your help, M.

hi there, I'm trying to crush a hollow cable between two flat plates. I'm using abaqus explicit with S4R elements and a time step of 0.04s for the crushing. My problem is that the plates seem to only crush the cable elements a small way and no matter how much i increase the load (i'm using a...

Hi there, could anyone suggest a link to an online tutorial regarding hypermesh / abaqus thermal analysis. Ideally, regarding heat transfer in pipes. Thanks in advance for any advice! g.

Hi there, I'm simulating the bending of a section of straight pipe by using a rotational velocity at each end. My simulation works fine although i can't seem to find a method of measuring the radius of curvature of the deformed pipe. Is there a way to do this? or would i have to specify this in...

Hi there, New user to abaqus here. I'm trying to run a frequency analysis in abaqus/cae (to find the best step time..). Firstly, i hope that this is the correct thing to do before running an explicit analysis...secondly i have received an error reading "node set assembly pickedset234 has not...

hi there, I'm a complete beginner to abaqus. Before submitting a job, is there a place where i can get an estimation of how long it will run for before being complete i.e., hours, mins, secs??? Thanks for any help!

Hi there, I'm relatively new to mechanica. I've run a simulation on a part and received satisfactory results. I'd like to obtain a bending moment and shear force diagram of the result, can anyone tell me if this is possible on pro mechanica? I only ask because i've noticed online that ansys has...
