Abaqus File Mesh

AI Thread Summary

To export a mesh file in Abaqus, create a job in the CAE "job module" to generate an ASCII input file containing the nodes and element details. This process will provide the necessary nodal and element information in the output file. If there are specific issues or different requirements, further clarification may be needed. Following these steps will ensure successful export of the mesh data. Properly exporting the mesh is crucial for subsequent analysis or sharing with other software.

hi !

i have created finite element mesh in abaqus. i need to export this mesh i.e. the nodes and element details on a file. can anyone guide me in this respect

I assume you've got a cae model? You can get the ascii input file with nodal and element information by creating a job in the cae "job module" and writing the inp out. If your problem is something else elaborate.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
