What are the boundary conditions of an elastic rod at a clamp moving on a perfectly smooth and rigid circular profile?

The tangential shear at the clamp turns out to not be null!

multiscale implementation with abaqus

Submitted by palizvan on

hi 

I'm a beginner in abaqus and I started to simulate an multiscale analysis, I model both micro and macro scales and even homogenization part for micro scale outputs, but I couldn't perform a relation between two scales. i know the parts of the code, but i can't call phyton from fortran subroutine.

could any expert guide me how to overcome this problem?

thanks
