Morning All, Any one here ever used the fluid cavities of abaqus to model a bag of some description filled with a lifting gas, e.g. hydrogen, helium or hot air? It is getting the varying pressure distribution I am interested in. I know this can be done using user subroutine vdload, but I am...- AdamBown

'mirror' constraint
I am trying to find a constraint in abaqus analogous to something called a 'mirror' constraint in our own software. What the mirror constraint does is mirror the movements/deflections for a particular set of slave nodes, to a govening set of controlling master nodes, 1 to 1 mapping. This is...- AdamBown

Hi, Trying to do something which I thought should be really easy but cant seem to find anything obvious. I am trying to constrain a single node, or set of nodes, to lie on a plane, e.g free to slide about within that plane. Translational restraint only. Plane can be defined by three nodes, or a...- AdamBown
