    Page setup and offset in microstation

    Friends, I am new to microstation but kind of families with AutoCad. I ran into these question: 1- when we start a new project, How can we set page size? I mean size of page that we are drawing 2-Is there any command like AutoCad offset in microstation? Thank you

    Contact between 2D beam and Shell

    Dear Invariantl Thank you for your response, Actually could you do me a great favor and take a look at my attached file? Your approach is kind of new to me because I tied every thing you may think. I attached it again here and also send you with an email: Thank...

    Contact between 2D beam and Shell

    Hi Friends, I am trying to model staged construction reinforced soil through ABAQUS. In face, I have some problems in defining proper contact property between nail and soil! I mean though I did define tangential and normal behavior for contct area between beam and soil, but they do not slip on...

    ABAQUS and Soils Initial Conditions

    Hi There, I am modelling a retaining wall through ABAQUS. I am wondering when I use the command "initial conditions, type=stress, geostatic", should I define gravity load as well in geostatic step? thank you

    Excavation and Backfilling with ABAQUS

    Hi There, I am wondering what is the best way to model soil nailing wall system as staged construction in ABAQUS? I mean in such cases we have to active and remove elements in different stage. But I do not know why I always ran into problem. Could you please direct me or take a look at my...

    ABAQUS, equilibrium in soil slope (initial stress)

    Hi There, Does any one have some remarks on how can I establish equilibrium and get zero displacement when I have a 2D soil, plain stress, slope? Thank you

    2D plane strain modelling "soil nail" Question

    Hi There, I am going to model a 3D soil nail wall as 2D plane strain and wondering to know what modification I should make in nail's "E,A,...." and coefficient factor between soil and nail to equivalent 3D problem to 2D. I highly appreciate your help Thank you

    Urgent Question abut ABAQUS

    Hi There, I am modelling soil nailing wall system in ABAQUS. My main problem is that I am interested to consider soil as 2D shell element and model nails as wire. Problem here is that I can not define any interaction between wire and soil (shell 2d). How I can solve this problem? Thank you
