Abaqus output result model moves...

Abaqus output result model moves...

Abaqus output result model moves...

(OP)
Hi there, I have modeled a thin rubber sheet with dimensions: 0.1m * 0.1m * 0.01m, a linear elastic material with E =3MPa and nu =0.49.
I applied symmetry boundary conditions on two adjacent edges, and a uniaxial displacement loading of 0.1m normal to one of the other edges. (and NLGEOM is on)

The output is that of the rubber sheet, deformed BUT when I run an animation, it shows that the whole body of the rubber sheet moves over time and ends up in a different place than the original model.

I can not figure out why this is and if it is effecting my results???

Please help! thanks :) x

RE: Abaqus output result model moves...

That is a massive displacement for the scale of your model. Try changing that value to a sigificantly smaller bale andthe rerun. If you still encounter errors..check your boundar conditions. Try manually selecting the surfaces you want fixed
