Hi


I try to calibrate the pinching 4 model  and i used the example in the the website and replaced my data in the strain and stress file. but i got this error "No dakotaTab.out file - dakota failed .. possibly no QoI " would you please help me solve it.

There was a post for that already but it wasnt solved:

Thanks for your time and consideration

Hello,

Could you please share the dakota.err file from the 'tmp.SimCenter' directory?

Best,
Aakash

Hi,

Here are a few recommendations:

1) Please remove the space after "Pinching" in the name of the file "Pinching Material.tcl".

2) Please use a different initial point for variables. When you set the initial point to 0 for the parameters of the Pinching4 model, the backbone curve is not uniquely defined and the material model cannot be evaluated.

3) Are you using the strain or the stress values as data for calibration? Please double check the name of the calibration data file in the UQ panel of quoFEM to make sure you are providing the right file. If you would like to use the stress instead of the strain, please make sure that the stress data is in one row, if the data is from one test.

Best,
Aakash

Hi,

thanks a lot for the quick reply.

I corrected the files for the strain and stress values and have the same format as in the example qfem-0018.
I also kept the names of the files "calDataField.csv" and "stress.1.coords".

The only thing i changed in the "matTestAllParamsReadStrain.tcl"-file is the material

uniaxialMaterial Pinching4 1 $ePf1 $ePd1 $ePf2 $ePd2 $ePf3 $ePd3 $ePf4 $ePd4 $eNf1 $eNd1 $eNf2 $eNd2 $eNf3 $eNd3 $eNf4 $eNd4 $rDispP $rForceP $uForceP $rDispN $rForceN $uForceN $gK1 $gK2 $gK3 $gK4 $gKLim $gD1 $gD2 $gD3 $gD4 $gDLim $gF1 $gF2 $gF3 $gF4 $gFLim 99999 cycle;

I checked the Initial Points and used the backbone to get values for the "RV".

Unfortunately I get an error again.

I will put the .txt data in the attachment.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the corrected files.

When I open the shared json file in quoFEM and try to replicate your analysis, I see that the analysis is running. However, I get an error as shown in the attached screenshot - the size of the strain data is one less than the size of the stress data. Please see if fixing this discrepancy resolves the issue.

In order to troubleshoot your problem setup more effectively, I suggest reducing the number of stress-strain data points. For instance, you can consider keeping every 100th point. By doing so, the analysis will finish more quickly, allowing you to identify any potential errors with greater efficiency. Once you are sure the problem is setup correctly, you can use the entire dataset to get final results.
