Help: Abaqus-why not get the correct stress? with inp file.
Click For 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
