    Solution Performance in Contact Problem

    Hmm... Maybe so. I was just not used to simulation times increasing according to this law from other FEA packages... The good thing is I have now realized that my problem was totally not suitable for Abaqus/Standard solution, but Abaqus/Explicit using Quasi-Static analysis with Mass Scaling...

    Solution Performance in Contact Problem

    Hi all! So I'm new to Abaqus, but I already like it a lot, having much better performance than packages I used before. Especially the mesher... Anyway, I am now trying to run a contact problem. I have done the hinge tutorial, and expanded upon it some, and also successfully analysed a small...

    Applying bearing forces

    Hi All! I am new to Abacus, so maybe this question is trivial, but anyway... From other FEA packages I am used to being able to select faces of my geometry and apply forces to it. This force is usually distributed across all mesh nodes on the selected face(s) so that the total node forces sum...
