Hi all, I am facing many problems with this module can any one please tell me how to assign the initial and minimum size increments is it depends on the load or things like meshing, geometry, contacts or the boundary conditions.
I have tried reducing and increasing the step values but it did't...
Hello everybody. I am Trying to run the contact analysis of a bolted joint While giving the pretension to the bolts.I have defined the pretension in step 1 using Bolt load and in the second step i have applied the external load using Pressure on one side, and i have a doubt whether i should go...
Hi i am trying to run a analysis of Adhesive bonded aluminum laminates lap joint with a fasteners. for this i have created two separate steps
One is for pretension in fasteners and other is for loading at one end of plate, while other is fixed.
during the analysis wht i can see in the .sta file...
I am trying to run a adhesive bonded aluminum laminate lap joints with a three fastners in it.
***The Element type for adhesive aluminum Plate is C3D8I and for fastners C3D8R.
***Two different steps one for the load and one for the Bolt load since i need to give pretension surface for the...

HI all,
I am trying to simulate bolted lap joints by using adhesive bonded aluminum laminates and gave interaction properties and all. When I am runing the input file howerver, I get errors of:
CONVERGENCE CHECKS FOR EQUILIBRIUM ITERATION 1
AVERAGE FORCE 6.692E-04...
I am sorry for not giving clear deatils. as a begineer in abaqus i have few doubts in meshing a fastener which has a chamfer at the bottom and round at the top, i don't know what kind of meshing i need to do here, do i need to partion the fastener in no. of blocks for structured or sweep mesh?
