Delete the dependent node set while creating the kinematic coupling.

Description: Abaqus generates an error when i run the simulation with kinematic coupling defined with a dependent node set. I am trying to delete this in hypermesh but it is is giving an error message and does not delete the set. If i delete the node set under sets, it also deletes the kinematic coupling.

Hello,

Are you able to define how this kinematic coupling was created with a node set? I am not able to create or edit a kinematic coupling with a set

arsl_2529

You can create the kinematic coupling using rigids under the Model tab but i am unable to update it in hypermesh 2023.1.

I was able to resolve it when i opened the model in Hypermesh 2019 as it comes with an option to update the kinematic couplings.

Jason_Craanen

Yes, but there is no option for set as an input. I am asking how it was created that allowed for a set as an input as I cannot replicate it.

Jason_Craanen

Actually if you double click on the element to edit it, there is a node set option

And in newer versions here

Actually, I created this coupling in Optistruct and it was giving me repeated issues not to delete the node set and i was not able to update it either causing issues while running the simulation

arsl_2529

Can you please help model this one in hypermesh 2023.1 with Optistruct solver template and see if you come across the same issue? Thank you.

Also, please help check if it is already defined with a dependent node set, how we can update/remove the dependent node set without deleting the kinematic couplings? Thanks.

arsl_2529

It automatically does that without even asking or a check box to create a dependent node set once i click create.

I recommend updating to the latest version as you can just change the Node Type Option

Also I am surprised it gives you an error

Thanks for the feedback. I will reach out to my local IT to upgrade to the latest version if possible. Thanks once again for your help and support.
