    Constraints only horizontal displacements between parts

    Hi! I have two parts one above the other. I need to define a constraint that allows only vertical movement and restraints horizontal displacements and rotations. I try with a kinematic coupling, but I have some warnings of numerical singularity under gravity loads. Also, when I perform a modal...

    Concrete compression damage

    Hi! I'm doing a cyclic analysis in Abaqus, imposing the displacement on a face of a cube. I define the damage parameters in tension and in compression and the corresponding inelastic and cracking strain, but when I plot the results in the unloading part I don't have a change of stiffness. How...

    Warning messages for boundary conditions

    I have some overconstraints because the geometry is complex and sometimes there are three or more walls tied together. I also notice that in the .dat file I have these warnings: DEGREE OF FREEDOM 6 IS NOT ACTIVE ON NODE 6485 INSTANCE Muro 27 - THIS BOUNDARY CONDITION IS IGNORED For each node...

    Warning messages for boundary conditions

    Hi! I am doing a time history analysis in Abaqus in a dynamic implicit step, but I have the following warning: OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS: THERE ARE 12618 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS MODEL. OVERCONSTRAINT CHECKS FOR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED ON SECONDARY NODES OF RIGID BODIES, OF *TIE...
