Hello everyone, I am trying to represent in my model a mortar, using connectors, between a wall and beam (both represented by shell elements). How should I represent this element behavior on abaqus?
I am thinking on this connector element as a spring, with an axial and tangential stiffness. I...
Hello everyone, I’m trying to apply connectors to represent the contact (mortar) between a beam and a wall (both represented in shell element). I need to apply two behaviors, axial and tangential, as presented in the image (1). I’m using a basic connector (slide-plane + align), that presents...
Hi guys. I’m trying to use a connectors in my model to made the interaction between two solid models, but I get some doubts. To begin I need to create the wires features. There is a way to create the wires using the mesh nodes? When I try to create this feature, I can just select points from my...
Hi everyone,
I need to apply a contact element in my model, between two solid elements, a Beam and a wall. Which contact element or interaction should I use? I need a element that I can specify the value of the normal and tangential stiffness, that will work only compression. There is some...
Hello everyone,
Do you know if there is a way to change the position of the beam element line? For example, on the image of the rendered beam element, the red line that represent my beam pass in the gravity center of the section. How could I do to make this line be in the superior part of the...
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to simulate a Wall solicited by a distributed load, supported by a Beam, as is presenting on the image (1):
Image 1
I created a 3D Beam Element to represent the beam, and a 3D Shell element to represent the wall. Then, I assignment the sections of each element and in...
Hi everyone,
I made a model of a Beam and a wall using a 3D solid element. However, I didn’t know how to get the moment and the traction on the beam. When I run the job, I get the following warning: Output request sf is not available for element type c3d8r.
What should I do to get the moment and...
Hey guys, I’m trying to do a model of a wall supported by a beam, with a distributed load on the top of the wall. Well, I need do define the following characteristics to my material:
Weight/Volume, Young’s Modulus, Poisson Ratio, Shear Modulus, Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, Concrete...
Hey guys, I’m learning abaqus and now I’m trying to do an analysis of a wall submitted to a distributed load. This wall is in a contact with a beam. To represent the distributed load I use a uniform pressure, and to apply the boundary conditions in the beam I made two partitions representing the...
Hey guys, I´m learning the Abaqus and I got some problems during my apprentice. Well, I’m trying to do an analysis of one wall and one beam, with the application of a distributed load on the top of the wall. For this, I made a 3-D wired element to represent the beam, and a Solid Element to...
