Thank you for the reply. So what would I chose in Step? Static General? How do I apply a predefined field? I will search this option tomorrow in ABAQUS when I go back to work....I dont remember seeing it anywhere in CAE though...

Hi, I was trying to simulate free expansion (to get started on a complex problem, I first wanted to understand this) in ABAQUS. I made a simple 2 D long rectangle. Defined E (modulus), poisson ratio, Expansion coefficient (with 0 in Ref Temp), and Thermal Conductivity. Used Coupled...

Hello Daniel, I am doing interference fit on a model using ABAQUS CAE and have been successful with it. However, now I want to try using temperature approach that you mentioned. Can you please tell me how did u go about it? I have changed the material properties to include the thermal...

Thank you stickjoerd, You are correct. The ring is heated up, installed in place and then they cool down to come at room temperature. I was thinking that if I am interested in stresses, then I can just model it by using SHRINK fit as I know what was the diameter before installing for all the...

Hello all, I am trying to model a ring shrunk fit (by heating up, but that doesnt really matter) on a pipe to figure out what are the stresses in it. I use *CONTACT INTERFERENCE option and use *SURFACE BEHAVIOR, pressure-overclosure=HARD, SURFACE TO SURFACE CONTACT PAIR with master and slave as...

Hi, Thank you for the reply. The job is not necked. It is conical. The constrained face (with DOFs 0) is constrained throughout but the other face just grows in diameter, both ID and OD and the whole part kind of gradually grows in diameter along the whole length. I am putting in another...

Hello all, I have a really simple question (most of you might know the solution from top of your head as well). I am trying to get started in ABAQUS and am in process of modeling torsion in a hollow cylinder. I constrain all DOFs on the one face and use a Reference point kinematic coupling on...
