Verification problem for solid beam not working
Verification problem for solid beam not working
(OP)
Hello,
I can`t get correct deflection values using solid elements for simply supported beam. Verification example is shown below (analitical deflection is 3.33 mm).

ABAQUS works well with wire and shell elemnts, but using solid elements deflection is 100 times bigger :/ Maybe someone faced similar problem and could help ?
Abqus model is attached at the end.

You have reduced integration elements in your model. Full integration elements will give a more realistic but still quite inaccurate results at the mesh density that you have in the model. Increasing the mesh density will help.
On the other hand, if you switch to quadratic elements, you will get very close to the analytical solution. Then, as previously suggested, increase the mesh density to see how the accuracy improves.
