Abaqus Glossary  


V

view

The position, orientation, and scale factor define the view of an object in an Abaqus/CAE viewport.

For more information:

view orientation triad

A set of three perpendicular axes that indicate the orientation of your view of the model currently being displayed.

For more information:

viewport

An area on the Abaqus/CAE canvas where you can display models or analysis results. You can create multiple viewports that can be moved, resized, and deleted.

For more information:

Virtual Topology toolset

An Abaqus/CAE toolset that allows you to ignore small details, such as very small faces and edges, when you mesh a part or a part instance.

For more information:

Visualization module

An Abaqus/CAE module that provides graphical display of finite element models and results. It obtains model and result information from the output database (.odb). Major capabilities of the Visualization module include undeformed and deformed shape plotting, results contour and symbol plotting, X–Y plotting and reporting, field output reporting, plot customization, and animation.

The Visualization module is also licensed separately as Abaqus/Viewer.

For more information:

volume fraction

In an Eulerian analysis, the amount of any given material in an element's volume expressed in terms of a percentage between zero and one.

For more information:

volume fraction tool

An Abaqus/CAE tool that creates a discrete field that specifies a volume fraction for each element in an Eulerian part instance based on the spatial overlap between that element and a reference part instance in the model assembly. The discrete field can be used to create a material assignment predefined field (in the Eulerian part instance) that corresponds to the geometry of the reference part instance.
