My load condition is a pressure of 4 bar on the surface of a part. I want the results at each bar increment of pressure. (1, 2, 3, 4 bar)
I have written a python code to capture the nodal coordinates of a given node set at specific time increments : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
In my step module, the initial increment is 0.05, and final increment is 4. As shown in the figure, I am not able to increment uniformly, and thus I am not able to capture the results at each bar increment. I get warnings like :
***WARNING: Results retrieved at frameValue 3.31718754768.
In order to see the results at each increment, what do I need to change?
There are many options to do what you want:
1. If you have one step of four seconds, you may create a field output for nodal displacements, requesting the frequency "Every x units of time" with 1 second. This will force calculations in your locations of interest.
2. You could create 4 steps, one for each bar increment, and then you will obtain results at each bar increment.
It is important to consider that any change in field output requests, number of steps, etc, will affect the *.py code that you uses to obtain data. Your Python script will call to requests that must be changed if you change your CAE file.
Thank you Dr.Baeker,
I was able to do it using the Time Points command as follows:
*TIME POINTS, name=stepwise, generate
0, 10, 1
.
.
.
.
*STEP
.
.
*OUTPUT, FIELD, TIME POINTS=stepwise
Hi Paritosh Hebbal ,
Is this screenshot from command prompt?
how can I monitor abaqus run status through CMD windows?
Many Thanks...
