Loads and BC's in Abacus/CAE

[jczarne]

Loads:
How do I set a uniform load, pointing down (negative z direction), on the edge of a 3D rectangular plate?

For example in a 3pt or 4pt bending test.


BC's:
If my plate has 6 screw holes (3 on one side and 3 on the other) how do I fix 3 of the holes (half the plate) so I could test the plate in torsion/twisting about the mid axis?

You can do this either within ABAQUS cae OR BY MODIFYING your input deck.

To do this in CAE, use the LOAD module for applying loads and Boundary conditions.
