Changing "result type" in FLD tab for Abaqus .odb-file

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

I try to plot the Forming Limit Diagram of a deep drawing process in Hyperview 12.0. As input file for Hyperview I use an .odb File, that was created by Abaqus/CAE 6.13-1. When I plot the contour in Hyperview the 'result type' dropdown menu gives me the option to select 'PE-Plastic strain components (s)' and as a result the values for plastic strain are equivalent in Abaqus and Hyperview. Unfortunatley, when I try to plot the FLD, the 'result type' dropdown menu is not giving me any choice and is set to 'PE-Global-Plastic strain components' on default. Clicking on the little arrow on the dropdown menu isn't doing anything at all. With the 'PE-Global-Plastic strain' selected I get way higher values for my FLD.

 

Why can't I set the 'result type' on the FLD tab to 'PE-Plastic strain components (s)' instead of 'PE-Global-Plastic strain components'?

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

Regards,

Fabian

Hello again,

 

thank you for testing it on your end. I sent the .odb-File to your dropbox link from your signature.

 

Not sure if needed, but this is my FLC-data (true strain):

 

Minor: -0.163; -0.068; -0.013; 0.018; 0.054; 0.355

Major: 0.388; 0.302; 0.224; 0.18; 0.189; 0.375

Hi Fabian,

 

Thanks for sharing. I will check and update to you soon.

Altair Forum User

To be a valid FLD data type, it need to be elemental bound tensor results(in tensor format, not in component scalar format).

 

Please check if it meets this criterion.

Altair Forum User

Thank you for your testing.

 

I am not sure how to change the setting in abaqus to get elemental bound tensor results, but I will try to figure it out and reply if it works.

Hello again,

 

I am struggeling to find the right settings to get elemental bound tensor results in Abaqus. Could you maybe go into more detail what to do exactly, or even tell me the setting in Abaqus if you happen to know it?

 

Thanks in advance.

Fabian

Hi Fabian,

 

Please contact Abaqus support on how to get element bound tensors.
