    3 point bending test on concrete beam - Problem with time increment

    Hi guys, I am performing a static analysis for a simply supported three point bending test. The beam is under displacement load control of -8 mm for U2 direction (vertical) through an amplitude 0,0 - 1,1. My analysis was aborted several times I am using the following: Maximum number of...

    Can I use a connector/spring to model a load cell?

    What is the best way to model a load cell? Spring or connector element? The load cell (cylindrical in shape) is expected to rotate in the x direction having a stiffness of 1.7 x 10E9 N/m.

    Abaqus - Mesh for a complex part

    Dear all, I would like to create a structured mesh of the rotation shaft that I have attached. However, the geometry is a bit complicated. I have created lots of partitions in order to be able to mesh it properly. The mesh change to sweep instead of structures. Is there any possibility to get...

    Convert loading velocity rate to strain rate on 3-point bending tests

    Hi, I would like to ask if anyone knows how to convert 100 cm/sec (loading velocity) to strain rate which units are strain per second. Thanks a lot.

    Impact on concrete slab

    Dear all, I am attempting to model an impact test using Abaqus. I have modeled a projectile falling from a distance of 10 meters using solid elements. The gravity was modeled though the dynamic explicit step. I have also used surface to surface contact with a friction coefficient of 0.2. My...
