Unable to extract X,Y,Z coordinates from abaqus subrutine explicit analysis.?

Answered

I am currently working on the project of single-point incremental forming by using Abaqus explicit analysis. for given path to the tool i have used subrutine. I have successfully run the simulation and generated results. In my simulation magnet is rotating. I want to generate the path of Magnet in the form of X, Y, and Z Coordinates so that I can implement it on CNC machines.

If anyone have idea about how to extract coordinates from analysis or from the subrutines please share with me.

Thank you.

Hi Muhammad Adnan,

I don’t know how did you do your simulation? I mean, did you use a function to give your tool a path to do the forming process? Or used displacement and amplitudes to give a path to your tool?

If you used a function to do the simulation, you just need to give this function to software like MATLAB to plot the X, Y, and Z coordinates against time. Then, use this data for the CNC machine.

Also, you can check this link. An incremental forming simulation is presented with full details: https://caeassistant.com/product/uhard-subroutine-vuhard-subroutine-in-abaqus/#1576702296965-155e826a-9aae
