Model the symmetry planes as imposed displacement / rotations:
- No displacement perpendicular to symm. plane
- No rotations (shell / beams only) along 2 axis in the symm. Plane
Example: XY symm. Plane => B.C => U3 = UR1 = UR2 =0
Hello everyone,
I'm doing simulation for my model by ABAQUS (a haft of cylinder with crack in the middle). The XFEM method is used in my research to achieve stress intensity factor and see the out of plane phenomenon.
In my research, a curved specimen (a haft of cylinder), using solid...
