Abaqus benchmark

[mikechy]

Hello,
I just wonder if anyone tried Abaqus benchmark "1.1.4 Thick composite cylinder subjected to internal pressure"? I've tried all of it: thickcompcyl_2el_nonuniform.inp , thickcompcyl_1el_sectorient.inp , thickcompcyl_4el_orient.inp , and thickcompcyl_8el.inp and neither one give result even close to value into Table 1.1.4–1. Any idea why it's so? Thanks.

Have you transformed the results to cylindrical CSYS ? Also, the values given in the tables are normalized with respect to pressure.

Thank you, FEA way.
My bad, I didn't notice that the result was normalized. Problem solved.
