Warped composite plate 1

[Samy76]

Hi,

I'm quite new to Abaqus. I have modelled this composite flat plate that has deformed due to temperature change.

I want to perform a compression test on this deformed plate to flatten it again, so that I can see the energy required to do so.

Any advice on how I can do this please?

You can use the import functionality. It's described in the documentation section Analysis --> Analysis Techniques --> Analysis Continuation Techniques --> Importing and Transferring Results.
