Hi

I am using Abaqus to model the profiled steel sheet and the dry board will be attached to it. i have two question:

1) i have drawn the profiled sketch and have to extrude it to the proper length. if i do so, then how can i add some points in between the sheet in order to put some springs.

2) if i extrude the created sketch to the certain length (ex. 200mm), can i then copy the created model and paste it there to reach the desirable length for the sheet.

thank you.

I am going to study the diaphragm behaviour of the composite slab under the lateral loading.

To simulate the system using FEM package (such as ANSYS or ABAQUS). the obtained results from FEM package would then be verified by experimental results that must be done by myself.
