Hi I have just recently begun using Abaqus CAE in detail and was wondering if someone could help me with a problem that I cant seem to fully understand.
The analysis that I have set up is a plate with a hole and the plate is in tension. Only a quarter of the plate is modelled and nodal points have been placed along the sides.
The problem that I have is that I cant fully understand why Abaqus doesn’t understand that the stress at the edge of a free space should be zero i.e. In this problem the nodes next to the hole and edge of the plate.
The model has been set up with CPS4
Also is there any simpler way to improve the analysis that I have done.
Thank you for any replies in advance.
