Hi,
One of the designs I am reviewing involves an external spline with a machined groove cut circumferentially for a snap ring. The snap ring sees a uniform load normal to its face (parallel to the spline direction), and the load is fed into relatively short spline lugs. I am trying to...
Hi everyone,
I want to apply a simple displacement boundary condition to the inside of a thin-walled tube section in the radially outward direction. I cannot find a way to prescribe a displacement BC in anything but the cartesian coordinate system. Anyone have an idea? BTW this is...
Corus,
Thanks for the reply. I just reran the simulation after doubling the element density and saw about 0.03% reduction in peak load and no real discernable change in stiffness. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks in advance,
Tony
Hi everyone,
I am using ABAQUS to model the response of a finite-sized, repeating 2D truss structure under compressive loading. The trusses are very slender. I have conducted tests on metallic specimens and I'm having trouble correlating the experimental data to the ABAQUS predictions...
