Hi,
I hope all is well.
I'm encountering some visualization issues in Abaqus 2023 during an explicit analysis of a machining operation (milling). The simulation appears to run correctly until completion, but I'm facing problems when viewing the results.
Setup Details:
- Abaqus Version: Built in Abaqus 2022 (Windows), ran in Abaqus 2023 (Linux)
- Analysis Type: Explicit
- Operation Modeled: Machining (Milling)
- Components: Four inserts interacting with a finely meshed workpiece region
- Contacts Defined:
- General contact (explicit) with *All with self option
- Surface-to-surface contact (explicit) between insert faces and workpiece nodes
At a Step Time of 0.14 (out of a total of 0.2), elements in the simulation begin to appear transparent or show excess lines. This issue didn't occur in a previous simulation with a slightly smaller refined mesh region (run on a different machine). I've tried toggling the visible edges, but this had no effect.
Could this be a graphics card driver problem? Is this an Abaqus problem or an issue with my simulation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
