I'm using the parametric design language to model a dynamic problem using the BEAM54 element.
I need to take the angular (or rotational) velocity in some nodes to use them as initial conditions.
I can do it in the graphical user interface, using the "list results" option of the pos-processor...
I'm using ANSYS LS-DYNA to model a case where certain constrains, velocities and loads must be applied at an arbitrary time during the analysis.
They cannot be defined entirely at the start of the run, because they depend on displacement, velocity and acceleration results at the time.
To...
I'm trying to model a large section of soil subjected to impact loads.
Since the soil should behave like an elastic half-space, I need to set some non-reflecting boundary conditions (NRB).
According to the manual, I should select the desired nodes with the NSEL command, creating a component...
Is it possible to create each individual finite element in Abaqus CAE the way you do in other FEM programs (ie, by selecting the element type and then selecting the nodes that define its geometry)?
I know its possible to do it in INP files, by defining the nodes and then creating the elements...
