Problem in modeling hydraulic cylinder-piston in Abaqus using CEL technique, can any one help?

Dear All I'm modeling a cylinder-twin piston containing water but the passive piston doesn't move in the effect of fluid pressure and motion. Actually the right side piston has a velocity and the...

How to make a ballscrew drive by means of connectors in abaqus which its input is torque and its output is linear motion. Is it possible? How?

I want to model this joint with connectors not by real modeling a ballscew drive.

Can anyone help me about time scaling factor in dynamic explicit analysis of Abaqus?

I'm doing an impact analysis in abaqus using dynamic explicit. Some times when the velocity of impact is high, the job aborts and I reduce the time scaling factor (=0.1) and it solves the problem!...

How can we do fatigue analysis with cyclic step in ABAQUS which there are steel and rubber in the model as the materials?

I'm doing a fatigue analysis on a simple mount in ABAQUS which contains Steel and rubber as materials. Fatigue in the steel is important and the damage data is imported just for the steel. But...

How to define and get results (stresses) for certain points of a model in abaqus, using python? When the size of the model changes?

I want to do a parameter study of a aixsymmetric cylinder in Abaqus. I want to create several jobs where I get the stresses for 3 different points in my model. These points are defined. I wrote a...
