    Connector: Join + Cardan

    hi, i am trying to model a connector (join + cardan) to connect a beam and a column, both of beam elements. a tip load will be applied to the other end of the beam so as to create a rotation at the connection between the beam and the column. i selected the first connector point on the beam...

    Urgent - Restarting Analysis due to Unexpected Computer Shutdown

    Hi friends, I am running a Abaqus Standard simulation for about 1.5 days. When I checked it now, the computer experienced a unexpected shutdown due to power failure. I opened the CAE file and recovered the data. It still shows that the simulation is running but it is actually not running...

    Automatic Stablization - RC Element Analysis

    Hi all, I am modeling a RC element subjected to stress and i am interested to determine the deflection of the element. I am using Abaqus Standard with static-general step. It seems that I have instability issue and I used automatic stablization technique to stabilize the problem. I am...

    Continuum Elements - Beam Elements

    Hi, I have a structure which is made up of part continuum (solid) elements and beam elements. I tried to tie the beam elements to continuum elements by tie - node to surface and coupling (i tried both distributing and kinematic coupling) There are two static-general step, first a vertical...

    Beam Elements to represent Uncracked Transformed Section

    Hi all, I am trying to model a reinforced concrete structure. As the structure is large, our intention is only to model the detail reinforced concrete elements for a small area of interest. For other portion of the structure, our intention is to model the reinforced concrete element by beam...

    Picking a Node within a solid part

    hi all, I have a solid 3D part made of concrete. I would need the results of a few points inside the concrete. However, I realised it was not easy to pick them when doing a Set because the nodes are hidden (they are not on the surface. I have 1) partition my model exactly at the points when I...

    spring between 2 nodes with moment-rotation relationship

    hi all, I am trying to simulate a spring that have a moment rotation relationship between 2 nodes in Abaqus/Explict or force perpendicular to the line between the 2 nodes against the vertical displacement. Can I use beam elements to simulate this behavior instead? Can anyone please advice...

    Abaqus Standard: Overconstraint + Negative Eigenvalues

    hi, i am using Abaqus standard to model a reinforced beam-column connection subjected to a tip load at the end of the beam. i first applied a gravity load followed by a tip load at the end of the beam. halfway through the application of the tip load, abaqus standard stop and give 2 errors...
