Displacement Controlled Loading 1

[jamescook]

Hi, I want to expand a stent to a certain diameter by using a pressure load that increases until this required diameter is reached. Is this possible in Abaqus/Standard?

At the moment I am using connectors that prevent the stent from expanding beyond a specified maximum diameter, and so I need to run multiple jobs to determine the minimum loading that will achieve the required expanded stent diameter.

You can not stop the increasing pressure at a certain displacement. Make a first run to establish the relationship between pressure and displacement. Make a second run with the interpolated correct pressure from the first run.
