ABAQUS Pipe Elements
(OP)
Hi all,
We have a supplier that want to use ABAQUS Pipe element for some analysis. we never worked with ABAQUS and we have absolutely no idea what a Pipe element is in ABAQUS.
Do any of guys know where I can find some information about that element? I have look through Simulia website, goole and here and didn't find any definition.
Thanks.

I found on the net that there seem to be some elements called PIPE21 or PIPE31H. Maybe it is those elements I am looking for.

Be aware that in addition to all the usual limitations of beam elements, they will not correctly deal with issues such as ovalization at bends - the more complex ELBOW elements are needed if these effects are significant.
