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...
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...
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...
Sorry for so many questions at one time. I've been used ABAQUS some time ago for other business but how I just couldn't get it done!:(
As for this one, I chose wire in 3D but can only using "planer" method. So only 2D data can be input while I want the beams in 3D construction.
Thanks in advance
It appears very badly in my computer. Not like what we used to creat line by line. When I rearraged it by hand, it has a funny square ends for each "enter"....
Thanks for answering this silly question:)
