AI Thread Summary
The 'KeyError' issue in Abaqus CAE when generating xy data reports is linked to specific bugs in versions 6.8.1 and earlier, which are resolved in version 6.8.3. Users without admin privileges on a network can face challenges in upgrading. A workaround involves creating xy data by selecting the appropriate node and plot type, then using the XY data manager to access the plotted numbers. Highlighting and copying these numbers to Excel provides a solution to bypass the bug. This method allows users to extract necessary data despite the software limitations.

I've done a very simple analysis of a truss in Abaqus CAE. I want to create a report of the xy data, but every time I try I'm confronted with 'KeyError:RF', or 'KeyError:U', depending on which xy data I'm trying to get at.

My search of google and Abaqus' online help has only led me to one guy who says this is a bug in Abaqus 6.8.1 and is fixed in 6.8.3. This is no use to me as I'm working on a network without admin privileges.

Does anyone have any insight?

thanks in advance
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
1 Create xy data
2 ODB field output
3 Select node
4 Select type of plot ie Unique nodal
5 Plot results

(If it doesn't work first time the node selection has gone so select again)

Then to get the actual numbers go to XY data manager tehn the plot should show, go to edit and you'll find the numbers that were plotted, highlight and copy these to excel. This is a way to get round the bug
 
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...
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...
