    springs

    thank you first of all for the answer. So now my problem is: where do I read the initial length of the connector? in my case connectors connects points to the ground..

    springs

    Dear All, I'd like to ask you a question about springs elements in abaqus. I have some springs with a certain stiffness. I'd like the springs to stop working after they reach a specific translation, after which the springs should...."disappear" leaving the translation totally free. I have tried...

    Copying parts of model

    good evening... I have the same problem:I need to copy an assembly of 3 parts (with all the constraints it contains) several times. I tried to do what i read here. When I right click on part/import a window appears reporting the names of the 3 parts of the assembly and the word "ASSEMBLY". if I...

    connector between deformable part

    good afternoon, I'm starting a new thread because Mr Abaqus/CAE is really driving me mad! I need to insert a connector between 2 parts in an assembly, one rigid body constrained and one deformable. As an example I've inserted a BEAM connector, just to be sure i have understood how to insert...

    Defining springs using connection section

    hey! have you solved the problem? I have the same problem...connectors from a point to ground work. I cannot understand why any connector between 2 points of 2 different part don't work.. any suggestion? stefano

    maximum spring rotation/displacement

    dear all, first of all i'd like to thank you for the answers! I've tried to do 2 things but I still have problems...: 1) I've tried to modify the linear spring directly from the INP file, inserting a non linear behaviour but it does not work. Maybe I wrote the non linear behaviour in the INP...

    maximum spring rotation/displacement

    good evening, i'm an Italian engineer and this is my first time working with Abaqus. My question is the following: I've inserted a torsional spring between two points in my model. It seems to be working. The problem is that I'd like the spring to have a maximum rotation value after which it...
