Hello all,
I'm modeling a ring in 3D beam elements. I assembled the coils with an angle of 10° between them (with "rotate instance" and "merge instances").
ABAQUS doesn't caculate nothing from the moment the structure is not flat. I use a neo hookean model from the material and the beam sections are circulars.
My objective is to apply a radial displacement on the structure towards the center of the ring.
Do you have a solution to force ABAQUS to makes the calculation or an other method of modelling ?
Thank you.
