How do I enable HDF5 output in Marc? Is there a Patran hook that I'm missing? If I have to edit the .dat (either directly or via Patran) can you give me an example? It's just not clear from the docs how to use HDFPOST and/or HDFOUT in the input file.…
I have 2 different 3D solid geometries with different materials. By using subroutine UGRAIN, how to define the body with different material and different parameters for grain growth?
How does Marc uses these two kind of methods during calculation? Does these two kind of methods have a effect on final result?
In my opinion, these two methods only influence the convergence rate and if the calculation convergenced then the result…
I try to change the result output frequency by using .cnt file during simulation. but it doesnot work.
I checked the.out file and found it said"change the post tape frequency:…". It seems that the CNT file does not work. How to use this keyword…
I want to do fluid/solid coupled modal caculation, the Volume A reference a Fluid Solid option to set the interface, but I cannot find fluid solid button. Thanks
By using segment to segment and node to segment setting in a contact calculation, the stress shows a bigger difference(nearly 32%) in contact region. How do I confirm which one is more reliable?
My simulation stops with and exit number 4009 taht is related to read and write permisions. However, I have all permisions to do this and I can manage to run my job. Can any body help me?
if node 1 belongs to four element, the element stress on node 1 will have four different values. To keep the stress contour smooth in node 1, I always set the nodal average button on, How do Mentat nodal average works? Is the average value should be in…
Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a creative way to add damping to a progressive failure simulation such as a composite material with Hashin criterion and gradual selective stiffness degradation. This sometimes results in snap-back which…
I started a run within the Mentat GUI and then proceeded to save the model afterwards. Now I wish to kill the run but the Mentat GUI doesn't recognise anything running. Is there an alternative to try and kill the run?
We're doing a simulation for crack propagation in MSC Marc using the VCCT 3D model.
Unfortunately we encountered a problem we couldn't solve until now.
The model in the attachment is the simulation of a high cycle fatigue experiment with…
Can the report writer create nodal data in all three axes for forces, similar to the way it prints out Node data for displacements? Ideally I want column 1 = identifier, column 2 = x force, column 3 = y force, column 4 = z force
