Hi Dears, I try to model double bolted lap connection using Abaqus. I am using two methods. The first solid equivalent model (solid element for plates and bolts) and the second is the simplified model ( shell element for plate, beam element for bolt shank and multipoint constraints for washer)...

I am supposed to use shell elements to study on the performance of column at elevated temperature. I use ABAQUS for my study.

I need to model H steel column using 3D Shell element but I am not sure how to define axial load and boundary conditions? I found this procedure shown in below from an article. For compression members, fully-fixed supports were considered in one end and free in the other, the displacements were...

I need to calculate the deformation of simply supported beam exposed to distributed load in elasto-plastic analysis? I would like to ask if is there any analytical methods to do it. Thanks for your interest
