Hi,
I am a mechanical engineer, and I have recently began using the Abaqus as a finite element software. After numerous attempts and researching a lot of information, I have not been able to validate a simple test.
What I am trying to do is model a linear steel (cantilever beam) part in 3D (as a solid) and trying to validate the displacement curve I receive from the Abaqus to the one I have inputted into the material property (the theoretical curve). However, the displacements of the simulated data is 100 times bigger than the theoretical data. I used the elastic model in the Abaqus/CAE. In all honesty the numbers are not important me, but I just want to know how to model it correctly so that the displacement curves match up. I have read several topics here, but none seem to help.
Does anyone have a basic input file they could share that has a working linear steel material property that matches the Abaqus displacement to the theory/actual displacement?
This problem has me stumped and I have been stuck on something so seemingly simple for a while now.
Thank you for any help you may provide.
