Hello jongyonkim,
when I mentioned Abaqus/Standard I assumed that you use a STATIC general step, not a dynamic implicit.
My suggestion is :
fix the spring in the center, apply your loads at the end of the spiral ends and measure the displacement.

Hi jongyonkim,
maybe it's helpful if you assume your problem as static.
Use Abaqus/Standard and apply several different loads to the spiral ends and measure the specific displacement (use nlgeom).
So you get an diagramm force versus displacement.
Hope I haven't misunderstood your problem...
Hy MCC1966,
I have only a complicated way which needs some python programming as follows :
1. open results (*.odb) with
from odbAccess import *
odb=openOdb(odbName+'.odb',readOnly=FALSE)
2. read the stress results and interpolate them to the nodes
(not as quick as it sounds)
3...
Hello Gabriel,
the material is part of the model data, your load steps are part of the history data.
I think that you need a model for each Young Modulus you want to calculate with.

Hello saeed,
the values are correct.
For verification it's usefull to scale the mass also and use F=m*a. The unit system has to be consistent.
Hope this helps.

Hello bkal,
for linear static analysis Pro/Mechanica is a good choice.
For buckling analysis (nonlinear behaviour) it's poor.
The automatic refinement is due to the polonomial order of the elements, not to the mesh.
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,
I want to automize some calculation steps.
For this purpose I have to start the solver with
a python script.
Does anyone knows how to manage this ?
operating system is Win2000 with Abaqus V6.4-2
Thanks in advance

Hello harry,
the contact definition with
*SURFACE BEHAVIOR,PRESSURE-OVERCLOSURE=EXPONENTIAL
clearance at zero pressure
pressure at zero clearance
is a soft contact definition. It's fine when you
have this "chattering" of nodes corus mentioned.
Hope this helps.

Hello Gael,
the transformation in Abaqus/Viewer converts correctly.
When your model and load is axisymmetric, then use a
2D-axiasymmetric model as corus advised.
