    ABAQUS evaluation of UR

    Goodmorning, I am simulating a simple bar fixed at one extreme and subjected to rotational displacement (UR) at the other end. From the odb I can evaluate the rotational displacement as UR3 (the bar can move only in the x-y plane, no out-of-plane motion are allowed). However, if I take the...

    Issues with contact in ABAQUS

    But they are already in contact and it is allowed separation. Is your suggestion still applied?

    Issues with contact in ABAQUS

    What type of boundary conditions would you apply to the remaining parts of the model? And what part are you meaning? the cylinder?

    Issues with contact in ABAQUS

    I applied an encastre at the inferior plate and a moment/force at the superior one. Based on the fact that perfect match is present between the surfaces of the plate and the cylinder, I did not apply any constraint on the cylinder itself. I attach the picture of the simple model with its...

    Issues with contact in ABAQUS

    Hi! I am trying to model a simple cylinder between two NON-parallel plates. The cylinder is subjected to both compression and lateral bending (or other pure moments). The surfaces of the cylinder and the plates are already in contact (the cylinder does not present parallel end-surfaces) and I...

    How to couple the d.o.f. of two deformable fibres in ABAQUS?

    Thank you for your response. I tried to use both connectors and MPCs but they result to be too stiff for this problem. This constraints do not represent properly a deformable system like the wire. I'm searching for something more soft which avoid the departure of the red fibre but allow its...

    How to couple the d.o.f. of two deformable fibres in ABAQUS?

    Hi, I have two fibres like the ones in the picture I have attached. Real blue fibre is connected through a deformable wire (the yellow one) to the red fibre. In my simulation I’m trying to couple the motion of the red fibre to the deformation of the blue fibre without creating the wire. But, I’m...
