element is a 250x250x30mm piece of glass with a 16 mm bolt in the centre
I’ve fixed the bolt hole and applied the load to one face of the glass
Thanks
I am just trying to see if the connection is safe
Hi thanks for the reply
What it shear damage initiation criterion?
Also what criteria would you recommend?
Also I only have student edition 1000 nodes
Many thanks
Hi This is my stress output
the element is a 250x250x30mm piece of glass with a 16 mm bolt in the centre. The glass is loaded with 1kN of force
Does this look about right?https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=26cfd41b-ea66-41ef-8490-3d9c67ef6db4&file=Bolt_1_V_mises.pdf
Hi
When using abaqus to check if an element is failing in shear what's the check that you need to carry out as I am assuming that the program will not tell you it is failing?
I am trying to find the maximum load on a single bolt single shear assembly in a brittle material.
Many thanks

Hi Thanks for the reply
2 more questions please
1- when I plot the graph of reactions I am getting a separate line for each node rather than a total
2 - how do you read a abaqus.rpt file?
Thanks
I am analysing a flat plate with UDL (inputted as a pressure)
3.1 x 1.2 m
UDL = 700N/m2
total load = 2600N
I have 62 nodes around the perimeter
my RF is coming out really small - nodal RF = circa 0.2
I am assuming this should be N
0.2x(3.1x2+1.2x2)= 1.72N
where as it should be -...
Hi
Can somebody let me know what is the best way to export the results into a presentable report? I am analysing reaction forces from a glass plate
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the answers
Its a glass beam with a line load added as a pressure (1.25 kN/m) = (1.25*1000/0.3 = 40667)
3100mm long 300 mm deep 30mm wide
fixed (x,y,z)at the two ends only
Thanks

Hi
Does anyone know why this is happening (On the attachment) and is not a nice smooth curve?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have now modelled this as a 1 sided model i.e. supported on 3 sides. I can see it deflecting on the unsupported side which means there is tension on the rear side of the plate but how can I get ascertain the amount of tension at a mid span node?
Many thanks
Andy
Hi
I am trying to model 2 panes of glass butt up next to each other. Both fixed on 3 sides and fixed to each other at the edge joint using silicon
As these deflect there will be tension load between the panes where they are butted together
Could anyone suggest how to model this?
Thanks
Andy
Hi
I am trying to create a template i.e. a plate with the correct section properties. But then I want to keep one as a template and open it change the plan sizes and save it as a new element/ job but when I am trying to do this I am just re writing over the initial template and instead of...
