CONNECTORS IN ABAQUS

CONNECTORS IN ABAQUS

CONNECTORS IN ABAQUS

(OP)
I have figured out a complicated situation that I cannot model through Abaqus. At first, two nodes should translate without any rotation with respect to each other using a coordinate system (axial connector), then at the second step they can translate and rotate with respect to an axis of another coordinate system (cylindrical connector). The issue I have is that as I use the connector displacement at the first step, the first node reaches the second node then, at the second step I want the nodes to stay at the same place (so I have to propagate the movement) and have a cylindrical joint (translate and rotate wrt one axis) however the coordinate sys for the translation is different than the cylindrical joint. I want to simulate this in static. I would appreciate if you can help.
Regards,
Ardalan
