I can not access them from my office either. Janna

there is a "thermal-stress" analysis available which might solve your problem. Janna

Thank Martin! This sounds brilliant and I will try it now! Janna

Dear Martin, Would it be possible to define the "start position" of the spring from,say x=-1mm? That would be a "gap"! Cheers Janna

Thanks for quick reply! I am reading the connector element manual right now but could you please specify some I could use in this case? I still can't see how I can use one element to represent both gap and spring properties. It would be best if one kind of elements could be set to represent the...

Dear Masters: I need to constrain a few beams (or nodes) within such a domain, somehow like a well with elastic walls. I am thinking of creating 4 extra nodes and connceting them to the modelled nodes (or beams)using spring elements and with certain gap between the springs and the nodes - so...

Nobody would help?! Please...thanks...

I read on the mannual: By allowing you to specify l, the origin of the local cross-section axis can be placed anywhere on the symmetry line (the local 2-axis). In the above figures a negative value of l implies that the origin of the local cross-section axis is below the lower edge of the...

Sorry about that. Generally, I want to check if the shell and beam contact is on the right surface of each item. As you know, beam has no surface to show on the viewer, right? Cheers Janna

Cheers! Great! I've done some beams using this method. It's not too bad:) Janna

In the manual, beam section property, I read something about "L", which can be specified offset to use for a shell stiffener. I understand this is like to define the real contact surface with shell by specifying this "L". But how am I supposed to check it? (The global resutls are actually...

*Preprint, model=yes Cheers Janna

Such as areas and moments of inertia. If possible. (Certainly it's calculated by Abaqus somewhere...) Cheers! Janna

I gave up CAE and did this in input file. Thank Brep anyway Janna

Where is the "piecewise linear" module? Shall I choose "solid" or still "wire" when open this "creat" window? Cheers Janna
