    Distributed follower force tangential to a beam?

    Hi everybody, I am trying to model a cantilever beam using wire. All I want is a distributed tangential load along the beam that is following the rotation of local elements (defined using local coordinate system). I searched Abaqus documentation and tried myself, but I found that a distributed...

    Can anyone think of a way of setting up a Beck's column?

    Hi all, I am studying the dynamic instability and post-critical wave-like oscilation of Beck's column. I want to get some experimental results to compare to the analytical solution. A Beck's column is simply a cantilever beam with a tangential follower force at the tip. One experiment we have...

    Concentrated load location in 2D wire

    Suppose I have a 3D beam and I wanna apply a tip load as shown in the figure below: I want to apply the tip load on the middle of the top edge. The 3D simulation results look good. Below is the deformation graph: Now I want to model it in 2D as a wire: However, I can only apply the tip...
