    Hi all, I'm relatively new to Abaqus and have run into difficulty modelling a non-uniform pressure distribution supplied to a conrod by the gudgeon pin while under pure tensile loading in the direction of its length. To model the analysis I have assigned a pressure to the interior surfaces of...
