    Frictionless contact between two steel member

    Hi everyone, I am trying to simulate the contact of two steel beams. The interface is frictionless. The pressure is applied on the top of the one beam. It seems there is something wrong with my model. Can anyone help me check the setting? PS: I can run the case if I tie two members together. I...

    How to obtain the center of mass after large deformation

    Thanks for your kind reply. You are right about my question. I notice that COORDCOM is only for ABAQUS/EXPLICIT. Is there anyway I can do this in ABAQUS/STANDARD? Thanks again. Simon

    How to obtain the center of mass after large deformation

    Sorry I did not explain clearly. The center of mass in my case is not on the structure. For example, a hollow structure. The structure I studied is having large deformation. So the center of mass is moving during the loading process. I want to track the movement of the center of mass and this...

    How to obtain the center of mass after large deformation

    Hi all, Can I get the center of mass after large deformation automatically by ABAQUS? Further, I want to track the the movement of center of mass during the deforming process. Is it possible to output the center of mass step by step? Thank you! Simon

    simply supported plate does not converge

    Thanks for your reply. I have defined the plasticity of the material. Actually, I find out the problem. It is related to the BC. Thank you anyway.

    simply supported plate does not converge

    Hello All, I build a plate model with pin supports at two ends. The pin supports are simulated by rigid constrains to the reference points. I am trying to calculate the stress distribution when the pressure is applied on the top of the plate, the result is hard to converge. I think this should...
