Hi all, I’ve got two questions.
Firstly when designing a beam for lateral torsional buckling I always thought you assume it buckled about its weakest axis (I.e. use Izz) even if it is loaded parallel to its strongest axis (the MCr equation uses Iz) Is this the case? As in the blue book the main...
Hi all,
I'm modelling a steel beam and and concrete composite floor (trying to find the load deflection curves). Now that I have specified the concrete and steel inelastic strains into the material, I get this error? Anybody know what it is? I've had a look online and i tried turning NLgeom on...
Hi all,
Currently trying to mesh my A-symmetric beam properly using C3D8R elements, I know that i'm supposed to add partitions to improve the mesh so I've partitioned the holes in the beam. Is this how it is supposed to look like? shouldn't all of the beam be either pink or green?
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a question,
how can I reduce the number of nodes that I have for my model. It's quite a large beam (7.2m long with a 1m wide slab) and it says I have exceeded the 250,000 node limit and can't run it. Someone mentioned that I may be able to mirror it and thus cutting out half...
Hi all,
I am wanting to simulate a structural four point bending test on Abaqus of a slim floor composite section, I've assigned a amplitude table with all the loads at different times, however when I assign a load to the two loading plates at mid-span It won't let me just pick the amplitude...
Hi,
I'm trying to model a reinforced concrete slab with reinforcing bar in the base of the slab and I want to find the failure mode of it.
Along 3 edges it is pinned, along 1edge it is fixed and along the other it is free.
I'm doing a General static step.
However when I run the job...
Hi all,
I am relatively new to abaqus, but I understand most of the basic concepts. I'm trying to analyse a slim floor composite beam under cyclic loading. I.e a perforated beam with circular openings in the web, this is filled with concrete and reinforced with rebar lengths.
I've used...

Hi all,
I am currently looking into the results of two models that I have created, they both have exactly the same geometry, loads, boundary conditions etc etc.
However one has elastic material properties and the other have elastic and plastic material properties provided.
I have plotted the...
Hi all,
I am currently working on a an abaqus project analysing a steel T-Joint.
I am also a bit confused as to why the Plastic strains are lower than the elastic strains,
(for the exact same model and load, except one has not been given Plastic material properties).
surely you'd expect...
Hi all!
New to Abaqus software and I have a question....
I am Currently running a static analysis of a steel T joint, however I don't have the option for viewing the (EE) elastic strains in the results section.
As a project I have to compare two identical structures, except one analysis uses...
I am trying to analyse a frame plastically but have run into trouble, I have selected a critical mechanism which has given me the highest moment. I am now trying to check the moments at non hinge locations in order to check that the moments there are not surpassing the moment of resistance for...
