    how to assign contact property to line body (beam)?

    Hi, I am new to Ansys and I am trying to simulate pulling two curved beam, joined at one end point, straight and during the process, the beams will touch one another. I am having trouble trying to assign some kind of contact or interaction (hard contact, rough surface) so that the beams don't go...

    making a hexagonal network of connectors consisting of 1500 connectors

    Hi, I am planning to simulate a hexagonal network of 1500 nodes with a connector element connecting between each adjacent node pairs. The connectors are used to simulate a variable-stiffness spring as it's being stretched. I am currently using ABAQUS/CAE as the preprocessor and the only...

    spring with variable stiffness (spring constant) depending on its disp

    Hi, Could someone please offer some suggestions to what I thought was a simple modeling problem that turned out otherwise? I am trying to model, using ABAQUS/CAE, a spring element with variable spring constant depending on its displacement according to a list of tabulated values. The spring...
