    *IMPERFECTION by input file!

    Dear All, Regarding the option of incorporating geometric imperfections by using an external input file, what would be the template of that file? Namely, when you have several instances and thus, several nodes labelled as node 1, node 2.... Just to clarify, let me add that I am not adopting the...

    *IMPERFECTION by input file

    Just to clarify, let me add that I am not adopting the buckling modes approach but instead defining directly the 3 components of each node translation. /S

    How to confirm that Abaqus is incorporating the prescribed geometric imperfections?

    Thanks for your answer. Using a high scale factor I was finally able to see the deformed shape. I was surprised to realise that geometric imperfections were already incorporated on step 0 of the analysis. Btw, did you ever have problems obtaining the descendent part of the force-displacement...

    How to confirm that Abaqus is incorporating the prescribed geometric imperfections?

    Dear All, I created a certain shell-element based model of a frame structure using Abaqus 6.10.3 software. The approach that I adopted to incorporate initial geometric imperfections was via the scaling of the first buckling modes. Thus, I: (i) Performed a buckling analysis of the model...
