Hi,

I am currently using Isight and Abaqus to investigate the reaction force generated from a simple uniaxial tensile test (strip shape).

I modelled geometry using Abaqus (50mm-width, 30mm-height, 2mm-thickness) and 10mm extension-upper edge and Encastre-lower edge. I requested a reaction force from upper edge (History output). It works this is fine.

In terms of Isight, am trying to change height from 30mm to 40mm and want to see the reaction force depending on the different height (Design of Experiment).

However, once height is over 32mm, a reaction force from a node becomes zero. 30, 31, 32mm is fine. It seems like there is a issue when Isight tries to re-mesh the model.

I am wondering why Isight shows reaction force zero at the node (Not all node) once the variable is over certain length.

Regards
