Why am I not getting any results for my simulation?

Question

I've been trying to run a dynamic/explicit simulation of the response of a small building under a combination of stresses to a scenario where a supporting column is suddenly lost.

However, when the simulation completed I did not get any stresses or deformations in the results.I applied the dead load and live load of 2,500Pa to each floor, however in the results I am not getting any reactions or stress distributions in the model at all.

What might be the problem? I am still quite new to the Abaqus, so I might be missing something obvious. Thank you

Answer 1

One guess could be your loading magnitude. Increase your loading to see if your problem remain or not!

Answer 2

Make sure you have created a field output

in CAE

• select the "Step" Module
• click the "Create Field Output" button

this allows you to select the outputs you want to view from your analysis I would guess you require displacements and stresses
