Hey guys,
I am looking to run an ABAQUS simulation which best replicates a future experimental test set up.
Currently, we have square hollow steel beams which are being tested under four point loading to induce pure bending in the center of the beam (the two inner contact points on the top of...
StefCon,
Those changes worked great for my control beam.
I am now having difficulty with my modified beam (much more complicated geometry). I am using similar settings to the ones you suggested but I am getting results which do not correlate with theoretical results. Naturally I don't expect...
aslfd,
Thanks for uploading that model with the modified boundary conditions. Why did you choose the one you did? And I am trying to get results w/o the effects of local buckling that is why I imposed the extra boundary conditions on the faces to prevent displacement.
StefCon,
I will see if...
I am trying to model an open thin walled square beam (as a control) under pure bending in abaqus to validate some research. I have set the material properties up to replicate perfectly plastic behaviour but my results for the Moment at the reference node vs. displacement are those shown in the...
