Dear all,
Dose anyone know the definition of CAREA in Abaqus. I used the CAREA in the output and successfully got the total contact area between two contact surfaces, but I am very confused about how the contact area is calculated. After reading through the Abaqus documentation, I still did not...
Hello everyone,
I have a problem in defining the thickness of the shell element when I am using the axisymmetric shell elements (SAX1) to do my simulations. When I specified the thickness value for the shell element to be 0.4 and 1.2, respectively, my model was able to complete; however, when I...
Dear all,
I am trying to create the axisymmetric shell element, SAX1, but i have no idea how to do it. The problem is that it is impossible to directly assign a shell, homogeneous section to an axisymmetric, shell part, which is actually 2-dimensional.
I noticed that I was able to assign the...
