Show applied load in Abaqus/CAE

Show applied load in Abaqus/CAE

Show applied load in Abaqus/CAE

Hi,
How I can see graphically the loads defined in Abaqus / CAE model?
( Example load distributed linearly on a beam (*Dload) or (*Cload) in a point. )

I searched but could not find much about it.
Thanks in advance

RE: Show applied load in Abaqus/CAE

This is done automatically in the Load module.

You can also use CF and P as Field Output and visualize the load in postprocessing or after a datacheck.

Or you go into the visualization module and refer to the preprcessing model.

Mustaine3, I have a simple double fixed beam.

I can't get correct results in terms of M and I can't see the load .
Any idea why?
(is an example for lear abaqus)
Thx in advance

RE: Show applied load in Abaqus/CAE

PY vs P2
Your line load is in the local system of the beam, which cannot be displayed. Switch to the global system and you'll see it.

Mustaine3 exuse me,
I modified the definition of the load line in the file *inp , like this:

CODE --> abaqus

*Dload
all_elements, PY, -400. 

but I can't see the load and to obtain convincing results , even though I seem to have written everything correctly . ( There will be some error that escapes me ).

I am attaching the screen:
the moment diagram ( I'm not convinced )
