Abaqus Static Analysis Skills

Overview

This skill module provides specialized skills for Abaqus static analysis, including linear static analysis and nonlinear static analysis. Static analysis is the most commonly used analysis method in engineering to calculate stress, strain, and displacement of structures under static loads.

Skills List

1. Linear Static Analysis (skill_static_linear)

Perform linear elastic small-deformation static analysis for stress, strain, and deformation calculation.

Applicable Scenarios:

• Small deformation structural analysis (deformation < 5% of characteristic dimension)
• Linear elastic materials (stress < yield strength)
• Stiffness calculation, strength verification
• Displacement and reaction force calculation

Code Snippet:

# Create linear static step
model.StaticStep(
    name='Static-Step',
    previous='Initial',
    nlgeom=OFF,           # Disable geometric nonlinearity
    initialInc=1.0,
    maxInc=1.0
)
# Set field output
model.FieldOutputRequest(
    name='F-Output-1',
    createStepName='Static-Step',
    variables=('S', 'E', 'U', 'RF')
)

2. Nonlinear Static Analysis (skill_static_nl)

Handle complex static problems including geometric nonlinearity, material nonlinearity, and contact nonlinearity.

Applicable Scenarios:

• Large deformation analysis (deformation > 5% of characteristic dimension)
• Material plastic analysis
• Contact problems
• Post-buckling analysis

Code Snippet:

# Create nonlinear static step
model.StaticStep(
    name='Nonlinear-Step',
    previous='Initial',
    nlgeom=ON,            # Enable geometric nonlinearity
    initialInc=0.05,      # Small initial increment
    minInc=1e-08,
    maxInc=0.1
)
# Set field output (including plastic strain)
model.FieldOutputRequest(
    name='F-Output-1',
    createStepName='Nonlinear-Step',
    variables=('S', 'E', 'PE', 'PEEQ', 'U', 'RF')
)
