We recently had a requirement to determine the change in direction of the principal stress between two load cases. Specifically, we were modeling the grout between a pile and pile sleeve in a removal operation. The sequence of removal was: Remove structure above waterline. This reduces the stress but probably doesn't change the principal stress [...]
A recent project involved the estimation of the elastic modulus of grout from the compressive strength. When performing an analysis on a to-be-built offshore structure with grouted pile-in-sleeves, the compressive and tensile strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson ratio can be looked up on the datasheet or supplied by the grout vendor. But this project involves [...]

Building parametric models in Abaqus CAE may seem trivial at first blush, simply set CAE to output ids instead of masks and insert a little python code where needed. After spending many hours developing the application, you deploy and all the engineers are happy. Until you upgrade Abaqus to the next release. I have found [...]
