Thanks for your reply corus. The problem is, that I did not work with 3D solid parts, but with beams. Beams consist of trusses (the wire you can see on the picture) with an assigned cross-section profile. Thats why there are no surfaces, which can be connected by a TIE constraint... :(
Hi,
my problem is to connect two beams in my model like they were welded together on their side surface. Then one of the beams (the upper one on the picture) is put on strain with a concentrated force. This would cause the other beam not only to bend but also to twist due to the moment caused by...
Thank you xerf. But I still don't get it.
The steps are as follows:
- defining the "beam section orientation" (which is done by defining the n1-vector)
- generating sets in the assembly which contain certain beams
- editing the normals of the beams (again?) in the keyword editor
So the...
Hi there,
I am working on a paper for my university degree.
therefore I have to build a Model in Abaqus using truss and shell elements.
As an exercise I aam working on the Crane model in the Abaqus tutorial.
Now I am experiencing difficulties with the beam normals. In the tutorial it is...
