    Question about Tie pair definition and boundary conditions

    For this model I am simulating a simple long-gauge strain sensor mounted on the side of a beam under uniform tension. The long-gauge sensor is a wire that is attached to L brackets on each end, which are fixed onto the surface of the beam I am getting the following error: Too many attempts for...

    Moving pressure load over a beam (truck load over bridge)

    Hi guys, I am trying to model the effect of moving truck (pressure) load over a bridge structure, before I start I wanted to try the simple case of moving a plate with uniform pressure load over a simply-supported beam from one end to the other at constant velocity. Right now I am having...

    deformed shape for beam under static concentrated load

    Hi Corus, Ok that makes a lot of sense! I am more interested in the global behavior of the structure away from the applied load so that should be fine then. In real life I am planning on modeling moving truck loads along the span of the bridge, and that will be loads acting over the area of...

    deformed shape for beam under static concentrated load

    Hi guys, First post! So I'm using Abaqus to model a multi-girder structure under static concentrated load. I am modelling the slab and the girders with solid homogeneous elements, with the concentrated load defined at the intersection of two partitions. I have noticed that the deformed...
