SUMMARY

The discussion centers on issues related to stress calculations in Abaqus using an input file (.inp). The user is facing difficulties in obtaining correct stress results due to errors in defining constraints between nodes in a cylindrical coordinate system. Specifically, the user seeks guidance on transforming nodes from a global rectangular coordinate system to a cylindrical one and establishing radial constraints. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate node definitions and constraint equations in finite element analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Abaqus/Standard software
  • Understanding of finite element analysis principles
  • Knowledge of coordinate systems, particularly cylindrical coordinates
  • Proficiency in writing and debugging .inp files
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to define constraints in Abaqus using cylindrical coordinates
  • Learn about the DATA CHECK process in Abaqus and common errors
  • Explore best practices for node definition in finite element models
  • Investigate the use of the Abaqus documentation for troubleshooting .inp file issues
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers and analysts working with Abaqus, particularly those involved in stress analysis and finite element modeling of pipe structures. It is also useful for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of coordinate transformations in simulation software.

help: Abaqus--why not get the correct stress? with inp file.

hi, all,

the attachment is the calculation inp file for the stress of pipe.
but now i can not get the correct result.

pls help me to find the error. thanks in advance!

hi,all;

now, there is a question about the coordinate system in ABAQUS/STANDARD.

For example, two straight line with the same node coordinates under the global coordinate system are input into the model by inp file.

if we define the line section as pipe, how do i set the constraint between the radial direction of same node in the two line?
that is to say, when the nodes are by default in the global rectangular coordinate system, i want to transform the constrained nodes into the cylindrical coordinate system, and then build the constraint equation under radial direction between two nodes.

i write the inp codes based on the above, but it is checked with many errors in the process of DATA CHECK.

would you like to give me some suggestion and recommendation to my problem?

rgds,
thanks.
