Dear all,
I have a quite simple problem but I cannot figure out how to solve it.
I have a cantilever hollow square section beam made with S4 shell elements. At one end, I need to create a rotational spring for simulating a non-perfect encastre; I have created a RF and a coupling costraint to...
Hi Everyone,
I am currently working with a Dynamic Implicit model and I'd like to stay with the implicit solver.
However, when deformations and plastic zones starts being rather important, the Implicit solver tend to have difficulties and then it stops.
I was then wondering if there is a way in...
Hi everyone,
I am a structural engineer which is using ABAQUS mainly with truss or beam 1-D elements.
I am having issues modeling a beam connecting two columns. The connection between the beam and the columns has to be a pinned one but columns need to be continuous. For being clear I am...
Hello,
I am a structural engineer who is dealing with contact simulation for the first time and I am having some numerical issue.
My model is made using steel beams and my aim is to evaluate how the structure collapse under certain loads. I have defined a contact using "Penalty" for both normal...
