Hi Everyone,
I have set up an FEA simulation in ANSYS for the following specimen. The left side of the plate is fixed and two points force applied on the right side of the plate (negative Z direction).
I have calculated the bending stress at the location of interest using this formula:
How...
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to calculate the maximum deflection of a beam that has a variable cross-section.
I have tried to follow this method:

However, my beam consists of 3 sections. Therefore, I extended...
Hi Everyone,
I have modeled a plate with a center hole in Abaqus as a 3D model and used shell elements. In order to stop the top edge from bending during the load, a Pin(nodes) constraint has been applied on the top edge. I have worked in mm when I modeled this component. My dimensions have to...
Hi Everyone,
I have modelled a 3D plate using shell elements in Abaqus. I have applied a fixture to the bottom edge and load on the top edge of the plate. The setup and the result of the analysis:
As you can see, the top edge of the plate where the load is applied is curved in the direction...
Hello Everyone,
I am working on a project where I need to create a 3D FE model of a 4 point bend test and validate the analysis results using surface strain measurements. I have already created setup the experiment in Abaqus and I have the experiment data. I just need to validate my simulation...
Hi Everyone,
My final year project involves modeling a 4 point bending on an L shaped specimen (only elastic). I am new to Abaqus, I have only used Solidworks simulation before. I am using Abaqus 6.14.
I used the instructions provided in this video to set up my FE model...
