i tried to output SF (section forces and moments), but as you might already know, this output can't be used for solid parts... it seems the only way to avoid this problem is by modelling the wire in 2D... but then I won't be able to model the plates
yes, x forces are axial... but what is confusing me is that I'm trying to model the pulling out mechanism of a thread from between fabrics... so what the model is actually like is two plates with a curved entry surrounding a thread (attached picture will show the model), I've been trying for a...
IceBreaker, thanks a lot for your reply,if you could just bear with me and explain a bit more on how to do the procedure you explained I will be grateful, I'm not very sure of what you meant by finding the reaction variable and loading all nodes... please correct me if I'm wrong...
So what you...
Hello,
I'm trying to find out the tension transmission along a rod or bar, if I model a bar spanning in the x direction, fixed from one end and point loads are applied on all corners on the other end in the x direction, then I create a path running on the surface of the bar and plot S11 (stress...
I appreciate your help... I'm progressing and I think I've figured most of the problems that i was facing... but the final result is quite strange and it's not exactly what I was expecting... so if you can enlighten me with some of ur suggestions i will be grateful...
Now, what I've done is a...
Thanks for your reply and my apologies, i had no intentions of breaking the forum rules... I'm just seeking others' opinions as I've minimum knowledge of textile engineering and/or modelling anything other than concrete beams...
I didn't describe the problem very well because I'm a bit confused...
Hello everyone, I'm trying to build a finite element model for my MSc dissertation on abaqus... the process is quite tricky, and there are so many unknowns in terms of material properties and element sizes... to cut a long story short, what i'm supposed to build is a simplified model to study...
