    Bearing loads and constraints in a plate

    Okay- I created a sinusoidal pressure load. I figured out how to define an analytical field but still don't know what constants to use. Right now, my field is 2*sin(TH), relative to a cylindrical coord sys I created. I don't know if that equation is correct though. What equation/constants...

    How do you define contact surfaces? Clevis-Pin

    Hi, I have a very simple clevis-pin-type model that I am trying to analyze. I'm pulling on the clevis. How do define a contact interaction between the clevis and the pin? I applied a load to the clevis and a BC to the pin. Am I underconstrained? This seems like a simple problem that I...

    Bearing loads and constraints in a plate

    Thanks corus. How do i define a sinusoidal load? My understanding is that i have to define an analytical field; is that right? I'm not sure how to set up the variables and coordinate system. Any ideas?

    Bearing loads and constraints in a plate

    Hello- I'm a novice abaqus user. I'm trying to model a plate that: * is suspended vertically * has holes across the top * and one hole on the bottom * cables run thru the upper holes, securing the plate * a pin runs thru the bottom hole, applying the load. * (imagine something like a crane...
