Hello guys,
I am currently working on Abaqus substructures in which I am trying to perform a free free modal analysis of a big assembly with 5 sub assemblies in it.
Assembly description:
- To reduce my analysis time, I have generated Dynamic (frequency based) substructures of the subassemblies
- I have recalled the substructure of the generated subassemblies using * ELEMENT command into the main assembly bulk and have setup the deck for modal analysis using * FREQUENCY command.
Problem Faced:
- I tried to run the setup for 20 modes using AMS eigen solver without requesting the residual modes in * FREQUENCY step and the analysis runs fine.
- But, when I am trying to run the same setup with requesting the residual modes in the frequency step the analysis terminated without any warning or error.
- The .dat file has been written only till the *ELEMENT command line which was used for recalling the first substructure in the main bulk assembly.
- Also, note that I have already recalled the residual modes for individual substructures in their generation stage.
- The problem is specific to the request of residual modes in the main free free modal run.
Things I tried,
- Using single and multiple cores for running the study.
- Using LANCZOS solver.
I and my team is stuck with the issue for several days. I therefore humbly request members of the SIMULIA community who might have worked on substructures to kindly help me out with the problem.
