Hello,
for connecting two parts with a matching mesh at the interface I currently use the "*tie" command, however, it seems that this does not rigidly tie these nodes together as if they were identical.
All node positions are hand-written and therefore identical. Is there a better way to pin...
Hi,
I am trying to enforce that two beams have the same rotation at the end surfaces. The rotation is caused by the displacement of the same surface.
My first idea was to use *kinematic coupling, displacing the referene points at the end surface as required and using an *equation to couple...
Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Apparently I don't fully understand the kinematic coupling function. Why is it sufficient to couple displacements in circumferential and Z-direction if the reference node is displaced in X-, Y- and Z-direction?
I had tried a similar...
Hi,
So I have given it another try, but still I can't get the transversal contraction out of the system, what ever kind of local coordinate system I use.
I tried using a node based (co-rotational) system:
*Orientation, name=TipCsys, system=rectangular, definition=nodes
406, 411, 407
And a...
Hi,
attached are a hand-written input file to illustrate the problem and two screen shots of the results.
As the displacement boundary conditions at the tip needs to be both, in axial and lateral directions, I don't see a way to allow for lateral contraction and displacement BCs.
I tried a...
Dear all,
I am newly registered to this forum, it has already helped me a lot, when I was learning Abaqus. Now for the first time I have a problem where I can't find a solution.
At the end of a long rod, the centre of the surface has to be displaced by a fixed value. At the same time lateral...
