RE: Re: referencing amplitude in VDLOAD subroutine

One way is to use Python.  In the Python command window, use something like:

model = mdb.models[‘myModelName’]
numberOfNodes = 0
numberOfElements = 0
for key in model.parts.keys():
  part = model.parts[key]
  numberOfNodes += len(part.nodes)
  numberOfElements += len(part.elements)
print ‘Number of nodes =  ‘, numberOfNodes
print ‘Number of elements = ‘, numberOfElements

Note that you’ll need to adjust the logic if you have multiple instances of a dependent part, or if you’re using independent part instances (the mesh will be associated with the part instance, not the part, in that case).

Hi, how can I find the number of elements or nodes in my model?

Many Thanks.

The amplitude variation is defined using the *Amplitude keyword. The current value of the amplitude is passed into the subroutine and can be used in the calculation of the load.

Sir Thank you for replying
I wrote a subroutine VDLOAD for dynamic explicit analysis in ABAQUS. the load is spatially distributed as well as varying with time.
the spatial distribution works fine. For variation with time I made an amplitude in CAE module but it is not behaving as desired.
As in VDLOAD subroutine there is an amplitude variable which is un-modifiable.
i want to ask what is the use/function of that variable?
should i need to write codes for the variation with respect to time of 'press' or it will be done automatically ?

and in manual if we see in subroutine VDLOAD, in explanation it is written that the 'press' value should be multiplied by 'amplitude', Why?
I am attaching a google drive link of my simulation file please have a look...

Thank you

Dear Abhishek;
Did you link successfully your subroutine to Abaqus?

Hello respected fellows

I am facing a problem in defining amplitude in VDLOAD subroutine. I am not able to understand as written in manual ' referencing amplitude', how to reference amplitude in VDLOAD subroutine?

Thank You
Abhishek
