Dear colleagues,
I need your help!!! I'm trying to define in the post-processing step a new variable (representing a critical stress) depending on several stress components and constants. Then I would like to visualize the contour plot of this variable in the whole model and find the point...
Dear colleagues,
I'm developing an abaqus model for a metal - composite single lapped bolted joint. I'm modeling each composite ply by using the composite layup function.. my model is solid 3D and I'm using 3D brick elements, with four layers in each element.
The problem is that when I look at...
Thank you for your answer,
I would like to calculate the load transferred through the bolt and through the surfaces but I don't know how to do it.
The bolt has the correct preload and I expect to see that for very low applied loads there is a load transfer through the two surfaces (interacting...

Dear colleagues,
I'm developing an abaqus model for a metal - composite single lapped bolted joint.
I'm simulating a simple shear test of this joint and I need to calculate the load transfer through the bolt and through the interacting surfaces.
Which is the abaqus function suitable for the...
