Hi,
I am modellling a beam with a hole in ABAQUS and runs pretty well. Now I would like to model a small area of the beam.
For an example the rectangular area which has been shown in the attachment file. When I model it What should I put as a boundry
conditions ?. I know that you may say that reactions of the beam (namely, Moment, shear, axial force) but I would like to just
investigate this part under pure bending and shear. What should I do?
A model without support is unstable ????
It is a crazy idea but how could it be followed?
Thank you,
Parisa

Finite element modelling
Try using submodelling.

Submodelling
Hi,
Thank you for your comment. Would you please let me know how to start submodelling in ABAQUS. It is the first time
that I am hearing about that. Any link and other things will be highly apperciated.
Thank you,
Parisa
Which are the loads applied on the beam?
Dear Parisa,
Which are the loads applied on the beam? Is it loaded only by its own weight? Of course a model without support is unstable...Please tell me more about the loads and bundary conditions you applied to the initial model which, as you say, worked well.
Best regards,
George Papazafeiropoulos
