Thank you, this was fine.
The result of this analysis resulted in a linear-elastic response, however I expected some sort of plasticity involved. What could be the reason for this?
I will undertake this study and let you know, thanks.
I assume I need to go into the Data Manager and average all of the nodal forces on the constrained face?
I think I understand the method, but to confirm, I should do this (extract Force and displacement) for all nodes on the RHS face.
Why can't use use S22 and E22 that ABAQUS outputs? Is it because you essentially lose information.
Oh sorry, I gave the wrong image at the top, but for the contour plots below, the x and y directions are flipped (wrt to the first post).
It is a discontinous fibre filled composite, hence the weird stress field. This is why I'm having the difficulty in choosing the correct point to obtain a...
Yes, there is a reason, the current framework I am running currently only works for 3D elements, hence I have only kept 1 element thru thickness.
That's correct, thanks for the reminder, I was working with shell elements, and I have just transferred the BCs to the 3D elements case.
My S22...
I am currently modelling a plate with 3D elements (just 1 element thru thickness):
I have applied a displacement BC on the right surface, as well as restraining moments. I have fixed the left face as shown in the image above.
I am looking to determine a stress vs strain plot, as per this...
