Hello everyone,
I have tried to find some answers to this particular question in the theory manual/user manual, but I haven't been successful.
My issue lies with the modelling of a simple cold-formed steel structure, i.e. I used shell finite elements since the thickness is considerably smaller...
Dear all,
I have been looking for some information regarding the inclusion of hardening in cold-formed steel beams. First of all, I have defined my material as follows:
*MATERIAL, NAME=steel_corner
*DENSITY
7850e-9
*ELASTIC, TYPE=ISOTROPIC
202870, 0.3
*PLASTIC, HARDENING=KINEMATIC
220, 0...
Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone out there might have some insight for me regarding this subject.
First of all, I am fully aware that the standard subroutines, such as SIGINI, are restricted in abaqus explicit. However, i figured it might be possible to run an initial stress state using the...
Hi everyone,
I have got the following problem I require some assistance with: suppose you got a rigid body (for instance,a rigid plate), which is globally restrained using boundary conditions on the reference node - every displacement and rotation is restrained, except for the vertical...

Dear ABAQUS users,
I have been trying to implement a SIGINI subroutine to include initial stresses in a dynamic analysis.
Question #1: I have used the following syntax to perform the analysis in the command line:
abaqus double job=[jobname] user=[subroutine file name] interactive
However, I...
I got the following warning on .sta file from a model I am running. It uses the general contact algorithm and this formulation has worked successfully on different cases where only some of the geometric dimensions are changed.
***WARNING: In step 1, some facet thicknesses for general contact...
Hello!
I am trying to model a deformable steel beam which contacts with two rigid plates: one acting as a support and the other acting as a loading plate through applied displacement. I am using the *contact algorythm to perform a quasi-static analysis.
However, when observing the results...
Hello there,
I have been working on a contact problem between a deformable body and a rigid plate. I want to try and use the penalty constraint enforcement method but the processor seems to give an error when I use the following:
*Surface Interaction, name=ContactProperties
*Surface Behavior...
Hello there,
I am relatively new to ABAQUS/Explicit and I am trying to model a cold-formed steel beam subjected to a displacement imposed by a rigid plate.
First of all, after I have defined my rigid body and its reference node, I impose a *Boundary condition and I am getting this warning...
