Basic Abaqus problem with shear on a plate
Basic Abaqus problem with shear on a plate
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a basic problem in abaqus which I couldnt solve. I have put a shear at the top edge, and its clamped at the bottom edge. I wanted to see the behavior of the plate under shear but I could not get the proper response. Here is what I get:

RE: Basic Abaqus problem with shear on a plate
The way to get pure shear is to put symmetry boundary conditions on the base and left-hand edge. Apply a uniform tension to the top edge and a uniform compression of the same magnitude of the right-hand edge. That is: apply pure shear.
