I am doing an analysis on the stent structure where
In Step 1: I am expanding the stent from its crimped state to expanded state using radial boundary Condition.
In step 2: I want to remove the stress generated during the previous step on the stent structure but I want to retain the expanded geometry of the stent.
In step 3: I want to crimp this structure again and calculate the stress generated during this step.
For step 2, I have tried using MODEL CHANGE from interaction module to deactivate elements in the step but I am not able to go see stress as 0,instead the model disappears.Can some one help me with this?
Hi Nikesh Mishra
You can execute job with step 1 only, then start new job in which import deformed part instance from output database of previous job and do what you plan to do in step 3. https://abaqus-docs.mit.edu/2017/English/SIMACAECAERefMap/simacae-t-dbsimportpartodb.htm
You can use the following topic

Dear Nikesh Mishra
All you have to do is defining several "steps". In such a way, each step specifies how the load will apply to the relevant element. And in the next step, whether the previous load exists or not.
