Hi WayneKagawa, I am trying to apply a contact with the same behavior as you. Look at my topic: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=388548 I am trying to apply in the connector a force-slip curve with my desired properties. But I did not find yet a good way to represent this curve. How...

Hello everyone, I am trying to represent in my model a mortar, using connectors, between a wall and beam (both represented by shell elements). How should I represent this element behavior on abaqus? I am thinking on this connector element as a spring, with an axial and tangential stiffness. I...

Sorry Mustaine3, I explain it in a poorly way. I need that the axial behavior of my connector presents stiffness only to compression. When solicited by traction forces I want that the connector present a null stiffness. I try to represent this behavior with the first graphic. When solicited by...

Thanks Mustaine3, I'm doing a mistake during the selection of the set. So far,I could not find a solution for to my problem. I’m trying to define a contact that provide me as an axial behavior, a zero stiffness to positive deformation (traction), working only in compression. In addition, I am...

Hi Mustaine3, could you help me check the orientation and the forces of the connectors? How can I do that? When I try to get the results (CTF) from the history output request I get the following message: Fastner domain data is missing. Do you guys have any tips to my problem?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to apply connectors to represent the contact (mortar) between a beam and a wall (both represented in shell element). I need to apply two behaviors, axial and tangential, as presented in the image (1). I’m using a basic connector (slide-plane + align), that presents...

Hi guys. I’m trying to use a connectors in my model to made the interaction between two solid models, but I get some doubts. To begin I need to create the wires features. There is a way to create the wires using the mesh nodes? When I try to create this feature, I can just select points from my...

Hi drkc01, I was having the same problem here. In my case, the problem occur because the directory where the file is save presented some characters that abaqus can't recognize, such as " ´ ~ - Try to see if the path of your folder where your file is save present one of this characters. You can...

Hi WayneKagawa, I didn't read about it. Thank you for the advice. Could you pass me the name of the manual's section? Do you get good results?

Hey guys, I'm a little confuse with this problem. I read about connector and I think I could use them. I have the following caracteriscts of the contact between the two solid models: friction coefficient, Máx shear stress, tangential and normal stiffness and Máx penetration. How should I...

Hi everyone, I need to apply a contact element in my model, between two solid elements, a Beam and a wall. Which contact element or interaction should I use? I need a element that I can specify the value of the normal and tangential stiffness, that will work only compression. There is some...

I find that I can apply a profile offset, but I don't know how to proceed. Do you have some advice?

Hello everyone, Do you know if there is a way to change the position of the beam element line? For example, on the image of the rendered beam element, the red line that represent my beam pass in the gravity center of the section. How could I do to make this line be in the superior part of the...

Thank you Mustaine3. I will apply this changes in the solid model. Do you think I should apply a different mesh? For example, more seeds or a different format. Do you think the interaction I made between the beam and shell element is good? I will think about running the problem 2D.

I'm sorry, I attach the models, but is work only the solid model: http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ac19c13c-aea3-4ca8-a796-d3348afab431&file=SolidModel3.cae I'm attaching the .inp of the another...

Hi Mustaine3, I'm sending the .cae of the models. The results of the solid model are more consistent when compared with what is expect for this type of structure. Thank you! http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2e096363-67a4-49fa-9404-a7534b5a4143&file=Wall&Beam2.cae...

Hi everyone, I’m trying to simulate a Wall solicited by a distributed load, supported by a Beam, as is presenting on the image (1): Image 1 I created a 3D Beam Element to represent the beam, and a 3D Shell element to represent the wall. Then, I assignment the sections of each element and in...

I’m trying to get a graph of the bending moment (N.m) and traction (N), from the beginning of the beam until the end, as is selected in the path created on the following image: The path was chosen on the bottom of the beam. Image (1) So I open the stress linearization window, and selected...

Thank you Corus and Mustaine3, I'm reading about the stress linearization. I hope I could find what I’m looking for.

Thank you so much Yassou, that was a really complete answer. Definitely will help me. The U2 output, correspond to the deflection of the element, right? Do you know which variable will give me the bending moment and the traction outputs on the beam? I believe I get that from the sf variable...
