I have read the tutorial about the usage of Abaqus-VABS-GUI-Code, and I am working on my own case. I use NACA0012 as the airfoil along with single web, but after run the script in Abaqus 6.14, it always fails with an error of " The cut operation failed because the base instance was not modified ". This situation happens when I change Web's position along the chord direction. I am wondering what was wrong. Could you please give me some advice?
The problem is that the length scale is too small. I find that the chord length is just 0.0762 and the thickness of a layer is only 0.000127, which will cause some precision problem of numbers in Abauqs. When I increase all length by 1000 times, the script runs without error. So I suggest you to change the length unit to a smaller one. I think you need to change the following:
