    Block Aquaduct Structure

    Hello, I'm having trouble getting the following model to run. The attached picture is the assembly of my model comprised of 266 parts (individual 2D deformable blocks). Their interaction is defined by a general interaction property with hard normal contact applied and a high level of friction...

    Stability of Block Structures

    Also, it is Abaqus/Standard. Therefore it is Implicit

    Stability of Block Structures

    I see, it is a Static Analysis with a Linear Direct Sparse Equation solver.

    Stability of Block Structures

    I've been modeling structures made of discrete blocks (parts) in 2D such as arches, a Roman aquaduct, and a flying buttress and then applying gravity loads on the whole models. I've been "tilting" the models by using trigonometry and applying the appropriate portion of gravity load in the X and...

    Assigning Section to Multiple Parts at Once

    Thank you for your reply. However I don't know how to use a Distribution to define the density and elasticity of multiple parts in a 2D or 3D model. Any advice or resources/examples on how to do this?

    Assigning Section to Multiple Parts at Once

    Is it possible to assign a section to multiple parts at once? I imported a ACIS (.sat) model of 514 blocks, each as a separate part. I want to assign the same section to all of them without having to do it one by one. Thanks
