If you create a node or element set on a part instance or on a part that contains both native and orphan mesh components, you must use the Show native mesh tool in the Visible Objects toolbar to display and select items from the native portion of the mesh. Enter a name for the set. Part sets created ...

• Each element in ABAQUS has a unique name, such as S4R, B31, M3D4R, C3D8R and C3D4. –The element name identifies primary element characteristics. Abaqus implementation of extended finite element method using a level set representation for three-dimensional fatigue crack growth and life predictions. Engineering Fracture Mechanics , 77 (14), 2840-2863.

Tools for obtaining output from Abaqus output databases (ODB files). These classes can be used to obtain the values of various field/history output quantities for a defined assembly-level node or element set. Keep in mind that if you define a geometry set in ABAQUS/CAE, it will automatically create a node and element set with the same name. Finite Element Solution (ABAQUS) Start => Programs => ABAQUS 6.8-1 => ABAQUS CAE Select ‘Create Model Database’ File => Save As => create directory for files Module: Part Part => Create => Name: Block, select Axisymmetric, Deformable, Shell, Approx size 0.4 => Continue.

Jan 06, 2016 · Hi again, it's been a while since I used Abaqus and I am facing the same issue. Abaqus tells me: The model "test" has been created. The part "PART-1" has been imported from the input file. WARNING: Unknown assembly level element set RIGIDS. This occurred while processing rigid body definition. The rigid body definition will be ignored.

Jun 09, 2014 · The Abaqus processor writes the error sets to the ODB, which can be accessed in the Visualization module. To view the elements: Double click the Display Groups in the Results tree. In Create Display Group dialog box, select the Item Elements. In Method, select Element sets.
