Unloading of Connector Element in Abaqus CAE

Unloading of Connector Element in Abaqus CAE

Unloading of Connector Element in Abaqus CAE

(OP)
Hello all, I hope you can help me with this.

I am defining an axial connector with Non-linear Elastic Behavior according to a certain load-displacement relationship. I want to define the unloading path in some way, as it is illustrated in the Connector Uniaxial Behavior options (the problem is that Connector Uniaxial Behavior is not supported by Abaqus Standard / CAE). if I do not do this, the unloading path will always be the same as the loading path.

If anyone has some idea on what I can do for this in Abaqus CAE, please let me know. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Oswaldo Russian

RE: Unloading of Connector Element in Abaqus CAE

The manual says it is not supported in A/Standard and A/CAE.

So if you run the analysis in A/Explicit, you can add the commands into the CAE keyword editor or writing out the .inp and add it there.
Or you add a *Include keyword in the CAE keyword editor and refer to an external file with the needed commands.
