Thanks for your answer! I think plane strain condition assumes the out-of-plane strain to be zero everywhere, my purpose is to let the out-of-plane strain to be some fixed value. So how can I make it possible? Thank you!
Hi, I am currently modelling generalized plane strain problem. My purpose is to apply and fix the out-of-plane strain in the entire simulation(33 direction).
Refer to Abaqus manual, I set a reference point in Part>Tool>reference point and inputed the fixed out-of-plane strain in Creat...
