Sorry for late replying to this post, but i was trying to test some options.
@Erik Panos Kostson I realized a smaller model (like yours): a simple solid beam and wire beam, with a vertical force at the end of the wire. For constraining solid and wire members I used:
1) Coupling Kinematic →...
@Erik Panos Kostson so you're suggesting to use coupling but selecting the holes instead of the face of the solid element, right?
@FEA way I'm trying with MPC Beam type of connection. While the analysis is running, I'll give a look to the manual for "distributing coupling". Thanks for the help!
Thanks again for the answer, I set up the model with direct coupling constraint and this morning I just saw that the analysis aborted due to convergence problems.
The part I evidenced in OP picture, is part of a 2D two-storey frame, so it's not a very simple model to run:
When I tried with...
Thanks for the answer! So I should define an MPC (tie, for example) between the surface of the solid beam and a reference point, than linking that point to the end of the wire, with an MPC link?
In my previous test, I did a thing like this: I defined directly an MPC tie constraint between the...
Hello everyone. I have some doubts about modelling in ABAQUS 6.14 a connection between a wire beam and a solid element (the other part of the beam, where I need to have a more accurate response):
Which kind of constraint could I use? I was thinking to give a coupling between the face of the...
Thanks in advance for the answers! I preferred to manage the entire model in AutoCAD because i feel better in positioning precisely all the elements (and because I'm not expert yet of Abaqus).
For the .stp file, it's only compatible with AutoCAD Mechanical: unfortunately not my case.
Hello everyone! I have a problem regarding the creation of an assembly in Abaqus/CAE 6.14-4. I generated a 3D model from AutoCAD 2019 end exported it as an ACIS (.sat) file. After I import all the parts into Abaqus, I try to create an assembly from the parts, but the result is as follows:
As...
