Hi,
I would like to request a meeting with a kind stranger willing to help me with my research. I am about to fail my thesis, and my supervisor is completely unhappy. I don't know why I can't grasp basic concepts. Perhaps engineering is not for me. I don't want to give up, so this is my last...
Hello,
I am creating an Abaqus model of a steel girder that is made of parts with different thicknesses for the flanges and web. I am using shell elements. The girder is 100m long and comprises of three different sections with uniform flange and web thicknesses. I used merge instances to create...
Hello,
How do I fix this error?
Normal cannot be computed in 12 elements. The nodal coordinates may be incorrect or the element aspect ratio may exceed 1000 to 1. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemNormal.
I have identified the elements in the set "ErrElemNormal" and...
Hello,
How can I connect these two elements: the crossframe (truss elements) to the stiffener (shell elements). will merging instances work well in terms of results displayed?
Thanks

Hello,
As practice, I have simplified a steel-concrete composite bridge to one 3D beam model with effective width of concrete. The beam length is 21.3m and concrete effective width is 2.7m. I used tie constraints to simulate the interaction between the concrete deck. I am following the base...
hello everyone,
I am new to abaqus and from most of the tutorials I have seen, Abaqus is mostly used for modelling sections of elements, like one beam. I would like to model a full bridge in Abaqus and apply a set of moving loads obtained from real traffic data. is that possible or should I...
