Hi,
I am wondering if anyone could tell me how to display member end releases in ABAQUS? I have changed some beam elements from fixed to pin ended and would like to visually see that this has been done correctly.
I have made do so far by looking at the deflected shape but as they are connected...
I am doing a structural assessment of a steel concrete-composite bridge that has been impacted by an over-sized load. The impact has resulted in some significant plastic deformations of the steel beams. FE analysis has shown that this does not greatly affect the moment capacity of the bridge...
Does anyone have any quantitative methods for trying to come up with a fatigue life for the bridge? I am using BS 5400-10 and it is mainly about weld details. If there is a detail that can be classed as similar to the damage that has happened then perfect.
True (doh!) but is there any other effect to do with material properties that I should be thinking of? I'm am only asking because the client raised the question and we want to make sure we've covered everything.
I am analysing a steel-concrete composite bridge that has been impacted by an oversized load, causing large plastic deformation of the lower flange and web.
Could anyone advise whether this plastic deformation will have altered the material properties of the high yield steel beams? With...
Thanks for your suggestion but that is not quite what I am looking for. I want the actual results to be printed onto either the output window or an output file - those commands still only print the comands leading up to the results being created, and do not lead to the results being shown in...
To be more precise I have 100 element tables and, instead of creating each one individually and copying the data one by one into a spreadsheet, my intention is to create an input file that creates all 100 element tables, the results of which would be printed to the output window, which would...
I am investigating if there is a difference in fire design to BS5950-08 between standard structural steel (BSEN 10025) and marine grade steel (BSEN 10225).
Is there a difference between these different types of steel and, if so, where could I find details? Is it "wrong" to use BS5950-08 using...

I want to have a contour plot showing nodal displacement as well as the node numbers. However the countour plot displays text saying "max" and "min" on top of two node numbers and makes them unreadable. Is there a way of turning the max and min text off so I can have the contours as well as...
