Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a project which needs mass-spring model. Previously I use MATLAB to implement 1D and 2D system, and I want to model 3D system by ABAQUS now. I am just starting to learn ABAQUS, it seems like there is not much tutorial or example about this kind of model.
I try to search in ABAQUS User's Manual, and get to know I can use the spring element. But how can I model the mass? I notice there are analytical rigid and discrete rigid when making a part, is this used to implement the mass? Since I can only import one discrete rigid once, how can I construct a big system?
Thanks a lot.
