Hi:
I'm new with abaqus and this is my question: Im trying to get the displacement of the free end of a cantilever beam using abaqus standard, for some reason, the real displacemente (5.103mm) is not reflected on the .dat file. I vaguely remember the instructor saying that the displacement is not showed exactly on the node but a little inside of the beam. This is the code of my input file:
Hopefully you will be able to help me.
Thank you in advance!
