Abaqus AIM attributes

The following list of attributes are required for the Abaqus AIM inside the geometry input.

  • capsGroup This is a name assigned to any geometric body. This body could be a solid, surface, face, wire, edge or node. Recall that a string in ESP starts with a $. For example, attribute capsGroup $Wing.
  • capsLoad This is a name assigned to any geometric body where a load is applied. This attribute was separated from the capsGroup attribute to allow the user to define a local area to apply a load on without adding multiple capsGroup attributes. Recall that a string in ESP starts with a $. For example, attribute capsLoad $force.
  • capsConstraint This is a name assigned to any geometric body where a constraint/boundary condition is applied. This attribute was separated from the capsGroup attribute to allow the user to define a local area to apply a boundary condition without adding multiple capsGroup attributes. Recall that a string in ESP starts with a $. For example, attribute capsConstraint $fixed.
  • capsIgnore It is possible that there is a geometric body (or entity) that you do not want the Astros AIM to pay attention to when creating a finite element model. The capsIgnore attribute allows a body (or entity) to be in the geometry and ignored by the AIM. For example, because of limitations in OpenCASCADE a situation where two edges are overlapping may occur; capsIgnore allows the user to only pay attention to one of the overlapping edges.
