In *Define_Curve you can load curves in .csv format using the "Load XYData" button.

This is a great question and one of the most difficult parts of modeling. One good resource that I recently discovered is a page on LSTC's website whe...

Increase the tolerance to around 1/4 the size of the element edge length and check for duplicates again. In terms of meshing, It’s generally easiest t...

It's a little hard to see exactly what's going on. You may not have set the tolerance high enough in the duplicate node check. It's going to search fo...

Hi @Erick, were you ever able to get your simulation working? I know that you were still having issues with this the last time we spoke.

Could you attach a picture of the mesh? I would assume that you have duplicate nodes at the connecting edges of the individual sides that you meshed, ...

I have moved this to a new topic as it is really relevant to element formulations. You cannot "convert" a shell element to a solid element. You can, ...

So you are importing an IGES file into LS-Prepost and then meshing it in Prepost correct? LS-Prepost is pretty limited when it comes to meshing but I ...

Glad you got it working!

Can I have some more details about your simulation? What do you mean by "RC"? Rigidly constrained? What type of elements are the wall and the frame? A...

So two different control cards are used for defaults for shell and solid elements (*Control_Shell, *Control_Solid). Both cards have an ESORT parameter...

No you cannot get force of a rigid body because it is not deformable. RBDOUT (rigid body output) can be used to get kinematics from a rigid body. You ...

You just need to define a *DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE_SET for both sets and then you will be able to look at the NCFORC and NODOUT for both. The *DATABASE_...

Hi Erick, *Database includes a bunch of information, but I'm going to assume that you are talking about the *DATABASE_ASCII_option when you look in LS...

Thanks for the interesting question. First, by radial coordinate system, I assume that you mean cylindrical coordinates. What *Material model are you ...
