1. Abaqus/CAE Plug-in to Generate 2D/3D Rough Suface by Random Surface Generation Algorithm or by Importing Measured Profile Data | |
This Q&A article discusses the Abaqus CAE plaug-in for generating the rough surfaces. This plug-in can be accessed from all modules of Abaqus CAE. To generate the rough surface, you need to define the geometric information, type of surface generator, and input parameters for surface generator. | |
| 2. Report of all SIMULIA Potentially Serious Errors | |
A defect is Potentially Serious when one behavior should occur, but the software is providing a wrong result or behavior that is not obvious to the user. A defect is classified as Potentially Serious without regard for the frequency at which it may occur. This article includes a spreadsheet listing of the SIMULIA potentially serious errors. | |
| 3. Defining Material Alternates for Physics Simulation in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform | |
Design Exploration and Optimization apps help the user to explore multiple alternatives across a range of operating scenarios, to enable better decisions. In design exploration and optimization, switching one assigned material with another is quite valuable as it allows the user to study the effect of material changes on the output responses. | |
| 4. Abaqus/CAE Plug-in Utilities | |
A plug-in is a piece of software that installs itself into another application to extend the capabilities of that application. Abaqus plug-ins execute Abaqus Scripting Interface and Abaqus GUI Toolkit commands, and they provide a way to customize Abaqus/CAE for your particular needs or preferences. Several plug-ins are provided on the Abaqus installation CD. The portal provides example plug-ins as well as access to a community of users that fosters the advance of the Abaqus Scripting Interface and the Abaqus GUI Toolkit. You can also write your own plug-ins. | |
| 5. Using CST Studio Suite with 3DEXPERIENCE | |
| The CST adapter allows you to run a CST simulation on a CST model stored on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. You can modify inputs to your CST simulation, for example loads and dimensions. These inputs include 3DEXPERIENCE or CST directly mapped parameters. Similarly, after the CST simulation has been completed, you can capture the 3DEXPERIENCE parameters or CST parameters that are output, such as electromagnetic fields. | |
| 6. Abaqus Performance Benchmarks | |
Please see the SIMULIA Platforms & Configuration Support page for additional information on performance test data and detailed descriptions of the benchmark models. Select the link for the release of interest, and then select the link to the performance data. Environment set-up consists primarily of assigning proper values to memory management parameters in the abaqus_v6.env file. There are no environment file parameters that control memory use by Abaqus/Explicit (explicit.exe) and the Abaqus/Explicit packager (package.exe). The default memory value is usually sufficient for most systems. | |
| 7. SIMULIA CST License Server Installation | |
This article gives you detailed instructions for installing and updating the SIMULIA CST Studio Suite license server for the supported operating systems. The process for updating the license server is the same as installing the license server. It is recommended that you install CST License Server on Windows or Linux by using the latest release of SIMULIA CST Studio Suite installation package. During the installation process, select the “License Server only” setup type. | |
| 8. Auto-Scaling Service in 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud | |
Auto-scaling is implemented as a system service that runs on the LSF master host on the DS cloud platform. This service is responsible for making decisions about the availability of virtual machine (VM) resources on the compute grid at any given time. The auto-scaling service monitors each LSF queue simultaneously and can decide to scale up (add VM) or scale down (remove VM) resources. | |
| 9. Configuring the License Server Heartbeat Duration in 3DEXPERIENCE Native Client Preferences | |
| A shareable license granted by a DS License Server to a session is released when the session stops. The license is also automatically released if a session crashes. However, it may occur in the event of a severe crash or network problem that the session cannot instruct the license server to release the license, so the shareable license is not immediately released. To prevent the shareable license from being retained by the license server, there is a specified period (referred to as the "heartbeat") after which the license server considers the session dead, releasing the shareable license. | |
| 10. CST Materials Library Extension - CST Studio Suite | |
CST Materials is a collection of add-on materials from various vendors or material characterizations for specific applications (for example: Optical, Particle, and so on). It is an extension to the standard preinstalled Material Library. Download and install the library extension separately from the CST Studio Suite. This article includes a list of added materials. | |
