Thanks to both of you (Corus and PamCrash) for your respondings.
I wanted to give some additional detail. Responding to Corus: my 1/4 model is such that the right section is 45deg in positive-x and the left section is 45deg in negative-x.
Therefore, the sides of the model are not paralel to...
Hello:
I have issues with boundary conditions for a quarter-cylindrical shape model.
Can we apply a BC constrain in cylicrical coordinate? e.g., rotational constrain.
Thank you for your insight.
Hello:
I would like to include WEIGHT in my structural model. I did it by using DENSITY in MATERIAL PROPERTY. By comparing the results obtained with/without DENSITY, I did not see any difference. Can we use DENSITY in static analysis to include the weight load in static analysis?
Could you...
Hello:
I have a problem which deals with "buckling" of a rectangular cross-sectional boom. The boom has about 300 in length, 0.25 in thick, and 22 in side.
My question is: which type of element (shell vs. solid brick element) should be the most appropriate for this buckling problem?
Thank...
Hello:
Please advice.
I would like to redefine the orientation of the global coordinate system (XYZ) of the part assembly.
Thank you for your help.

Hi:
From my own experience, there is no easy way to simulate a crack growth using ABAQUS. In particular, if your model is a quite complicated one.
Maybe it is possible to do it with a simplified geometry. My model was quite complicated.
Good luck.

Hi All:
I started to use ANSYS WorkBench (11.0). The simplified model was automatically generated with brick element (20 nodes).
The question is: "How can I reset or modify commands in order to obtain brick elements with 8 nodes only (not 20)?".
Thank you in advance.
Elkhorn.
