Hi, I am trying to study the difference between the static structural results of a 3D model and Beam model. I used a simple I beam example whereby one end of the beam is fixed support and the other end is a load downwards 100kN. When I compared the max von mises stress between both models, the...

Hi all, thanks for the advice. To rb1957 - yes I would like to find out the impact of a mass which is to be mounted on the web.

Hi all, I hope someone could point me to the right direction for my queries below. I am not a structural engineer myself: I understand that shear force exerted on a web could induce buckling load on it and also induce compressive load on the stiffener. I also understand that there are...

With kinematic coupling constraints, it ran into warnings of nodes with inactive dofs. These nodes are those nodes that are both kinematically constrained and with X Symmetry nodes imposed. But at the same time, I cannot ignore either one. It ran into a lot of undercuts as well, as such, I...

I see. If I get you correctly, all the nodes on that plane will be moving together with the same Y-displacement but could have different X and Z displacements. This should keep the plane to be planar and parallel to the symmetry plane, which is what I wanted it to be. I have uploaded the...

I constrained the U2 degree of freedom, I believe that's the Y direction. Sorry, I didn't come across the term 'poissoning'. What does that mean? Like poisson effect? How do you enable it? Appreciate much, thank you.

For equation, I selected the all the nodes on the plane except one and named them as a set 'slave nodes'. Then I select the unselected node as 'master node'. Then I go under interaction and select Equation. For slave nodes, I used a coefficient of -1 and for master node, I used a coefficient of...

What is the difference between using equation and kinematic coupling constraint? I tried both (assuming I am doing it correctly). Equation allows me to run to completion but the results seem weird. But when I tried kinematic coupling constraint, it ran into warnings. Thank you

Hello. I am doing an analysis of an electronic chip undergoing thermal cycles. I am using a slice model of the chip and there is a particular boundary condition that I do not know how to apply in ABAQUS. I want to make sure that a plane that is opposite the symmetry plane to remain parallel...

Thanks rstupplebeen for your reply, but what does a reference point mean? Can I set it in the center of the plane? Thank you

Thanks sdebock for your reply Sorry maybe I am not clear in my problem. Let's say I want a particular plane surface called A, to be able to move in the y direction, but I want that surface to remain planar when moving in the y direction. I think I should be using kinematic coupling...

Apology for the broken link, this one should work http://i46.tinypic.com/25uk3li.pnghttp://i46.tinypic.com/25uk3li.png

Hi everyone, Hope someone can help me on this. I am trying to model a slice model of an electronic chip that is undergoing thermal fatigue. As this has been done frequently by researchers, I came across a lot of paper which state how they set the boundary condition of the chip. You can refer...

Hi all, A simple question: How do you create a cone shape in abaqus? As far as I know, we can use a the loft shape, but I don't know how to do so. Would greatly appreciate any help Thank you

Hi all, I am new to Abaqus and I hope someone can help me with an issue. Basically I am doing a 2D analysis of the flip chip undergoing thermal fatigue (-40 degrees C to 125 degrees C). Below is the material property data that I want to input for my underfill. CTE1: 37.15 CTE2: 117.8...
