Can HyperView read material data from Abaqus input or odb?

Hi all,

is there a way to read the data of abaqus material cards into HyperView? I would like to create a Reserve Factor in Derived Results for all the elements by simply dividing material allowable by vonMises. Therefore it would be great to read the allowables directly from the abaqus cards. Or is there a way to assign the allowables to the different materials in Hyperview? Goal would be to use only a single expression in expression builder using the model library.

Thanks!

Regards Max

    Hi,

     

    I'm not quite sure if the allowable is readable from the .inp file by HV.

    But you can load material data from your .inp file in general by loading your model using the 'advanced math' template.

    Take a look at this discussion here.

    There could be some tweak needed on the rmxml configuration file to point to the right attributes (which one can access from HM attribute table).

    another approach would be to register the allowable to materials via xml.

    Max, 

    if you could share an *.inp sample as reference, I can try to dig a little bit.

    Let me know.

    Thanks

    Michele

    Hi Adriano and Michele,

    thanks a lot for your reply. Using the xml file works fine!

    @Michele For me it is ok to use the xml file. The effort is pretty small and in this way it is pretty flexible to modify allowables. If I need more information or another solution I will come back to you.

    Regards Max
