Hi When using abaqus to check if an element is failing in shear what's the check that you need to carry out as I am assuming that the program will not tell you it is failing? I am trying to find the maximum load on a single bolt single shear assembly in a brittle material. Many thanks AM

does any one on here do this for a living?

I am analysing a flat plate with UDL (inputted as a pressure) 3.1 x 1.2 m UDL = 700N/m2 total load = 2600N I have 62 nodes around the perimeter my RF is coming out really small - nodal RF = circa 0.2 I am assuming this should be N 0.2x(3.1x2+1.2x2)= 1.72N where as it should be -...

Hi Can somebody let me know what is the best way to export the results into a presentable report? I am analysing reaction forces from a glass plate Thanks Andy

Hi Does anyone know why this is happening (On the attachment) and is not a nice smooth curve? Thanks in advance Andyhttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=22e75399-5a11-4b8f-b1b4-d91894ee9e64&file=fin_deflection_error.pdf

Hi Am I right in assuming that the reactions at all the supported nodes should be equal to total load applied? Many thanks

Hi I am trying to model 2 panes of glass butt up next to each other. Both fixed on 3 sides and fixed to each other at the edge joint using silicon As these deflect there will be tension load between the panes where they are butted together Could anyone suggest how to model this? Thanks Andy

Hi I am trying to create a template i.e. a plate with the correct section properties. But then I want to keep one as a template and open it change the plan sizes and save it as a new element/ job but when I am trying to do this I am just re writing over the initial template and instead of...

Hi I am trying to solve a horizontal plate supported on 4 sides with a uniform vertical pressure. I have drawn the shape using 'metres' and put the load/pressure in as 'kN/m2' But I am assuming that the result for the reactions will not be in kN/m? How do I interpret the results in order to get...

Hi I am looking at a glass roof frameless construction and I was just wondering about the bearing as 1 roof section meets the joining roof section and the supporting glass beam below. The glass beam is 30 mm wide so each roof section will have around 12 mm bearing, all connected using silicone...

Hi I am designing a raised tie truss/ collar truss by hand and I hope some one can help me. Once I have resolved all the forces in the truss and know the horizontal and vertical forces at wall plate/ rafter feet level, how do I convert this into a deflection? Is there an equation for getting...
