    How should I constrain a moving cylinder in abaqus?

    Hello together, I have a question about the interactions and constraints in Abaqus. I am doing a static analysis and I am modeling a cylinder that is rotatable on two sides (see picture). The cylinder rod is movable in y-direction and pushes with a force on a plate via a lever. I am now...

    Define bolt load with normal screws in Abaqus

    Hello together, in my simulation I use bolts with nuts (simplified) and normal bolts with threads that are screwed in a hole. I don't get any error messages with the screws with nuts, but I don't know exactly how to interact the normal screws with thread. Do I have to create a tie constraint...

    What restriction or condition for a spindle running in a linear guide (Abaqus)?

    Good evening everyone, I am currently modeling in Abaqus a spindle that is suspended and can move downwards in a linear guide. The spindle pushes at the end with a force on a body. I just have a problem how to couple the linear guides and the spindle without restricting the movement. Everything...

    Error in defining a Bolt load in Abaqus

    Hello all, I am doing a stiffness analysis of a bolted beam and I have a problem with the bolt preload. I created a surface in the middle of the bolt shaft and then created the preload using bolt load. However, it is not transferring the preload to the other bolts in the assembly even though I...
