Dear all,

I am working on the buckling of stainless steel square hollow section column. I would like to run a Monte-Carlo analysis on an elastic model of this column, in order to study the impact of the input parameters (material and geometrical) on the elastic buckling load.

To do so, I was thinking to use Isight, which is able to run Monte-Carlo analysis. When I double-click on the Abaqus icon, I am able to select the material parameters of my model as inputs (even if I would like to change the geometrical parameters as well, see below). However, when I move to the Output tab (see attachment), I try to read the file, but I can not choose any output. Do you know why?

Furthermore, do you know if it is possible to run a Monte-Carlo analysis applied to the geometrical parameter of my column? During a recent SIMULIA Forum, a presenter told us that Isight is able to modify the length for instance and automatically re-mesh the model, but I have not be able to figure out how to do so, as I can only select the material parameters in my inputs.
