How to apply a Moment Load on a Hollow Cylinder
How to apply a Moment Load on a Hollow Cylinder
(OP)
Hi.
I need to apply a moment load to the top of a hollow cylinder which is made of shell elements. I shall highly appreciate it if someone can give me some guidance on how I can apply this load in ABAQUS. Attached file shows what I need to do.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Aliasger

2. Create a tie constraint
3. Place a moment on the reference point.
I hope this helps

I tried this but during analysis it gives an error relating to the degree of freedom of the nodes that are tied.
However, when I use kinematic coupling it works. Is it ok to use kinematic coupling or does it have another function?
Kind regards,
