I am new to abaqus. I am trying to simulate a simple model in abaqus- an elastic spherical shell being sucked into a rigid tube. the diameter to the shelll is thrice that of the tube and I want to study the large deformation of the shell into the tube.
I am unable to define a load to simulate the suction pressure on the shell applied by the tube. I am using Pressure as the distributed load, which can only be defined for a particular surface. In this problem the surface on which the suction pressure will be applied will constantly change as the shell enters into the tube. I would be grateful if anyone can help me defining such a suction pressure.

Did u got it?
Did you got it? This is a micropipette aspiration type problem. I am having the same problem.. plz mail if possible.
