Apr 4, 2008 Thread starter #6 futura22 Mechanical Jan 26, 2008 18 how about using a curve shell. Is it still be force or force per unit length? Upvote 0 Downvote

Apr 5, 2008 #8 corus Mechanical Nov 6, 2002 3,165 The units of m or mm don't come into the equation as Abaqus doesn't use units. It's simply force per unit length or force per 'your' unit for plane strain, or, numerically, force. corus Upvote 0 Downvote
