We are now ready to export the results to our finite element analysis program where we can analyze our model.
Click
Home > Export > Settings.
Switch to the Rupture tab, activate the
Enable Rupture check box, and click
OK.
Click
Home > Export > Export to Structural Package.
Select the directory where you would like to save the files. Name the file
radiatortank_ame and click
Save.
After the export is complete, navigate to the directory where the files were written. You will see three files,
radiatortank_ame.inp,
radiatortank_ame.hin, and
radiatortank_ame.sif. The .inp file is the input file with the modified material definition. The .hin file (Helius input file) controls the damage evolution criteria. The .sif file (structural interface file) contains the mapped fiber orientations and the Ramberg-Osgood material information.
Now we are ready to run our analysis.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the .inp, .hin, and .sif files (use the Command Shell desktop shortcut to easily open a command prompt).
Enter the following command to submit the model for analysis (in this case with Abaqus 2017):
>>abq2017 job=radiatortank_ame
Note: The .inp, .hin, and .sif files must have the same name.
Refer to the
Run the Analysis section of the User's Guide for details on setting up the environment file to point to the material model.
