    Generalised plane strain using Abaqus Explicit

    Hello again, I am conducting a 2D simulation using Abaqus/Explicit and I want to implement Generalised Plane strain condition into my model. However, GPS cannot be used in Abaqus/Explicit, so I want to know if there is a way around this. The first thing that comes into my mind is creating a...

    Elements deforming before load being applied

    Hi FEA way, Thanks for the reply. :) Yes, it was a silly mistake of not checking the normals of the rigid surface. After correcting the direction of the normals, the simulation works perfectly. Thanks again for the help.

    Elements deforming before load being applied

    Hello everyone, I am trying to conduct a 2D Plane Strain simulation where a rigid body (the wire element) moves into the plane structure, as shown in the figure. The interaction between the wire body and the bulk is defined using a surface-to-surface interaction and the contact interaction...
