Hello there,

I found that to define a rigid body, i need to define mass and rotary inertia. My questions are:

1) suppose i am simulating Uni-axial Compression Test, the machine's platens are rigid, so the mass needed in Abaqus is the mass of the machine's platen. Correct?


2)suppose that machine's platen is of squire cross-sectional area,so i need to find the moment of inertia and input that to abaqus. Right?

Thank you.
