Hmm, but when considering a beam supported by two columns, the reaction force from the supports is spread out over an area, not concentrated on a line. Defining the boundary conditions on the edges will result in increased the stresses in the elements, as the reaction forces are not being...
As a beginner to Abaqus, I am trying to learn. While watching tutorials on YouTube, I have noticed that when modeling a simply supported beam, a line is used to define the boundary condition. Can someone explain to me why this is the case? In a 3D model, the support should cover an area and not...
