Abaqus connector elements

Submitted by JJan on
hello everybody,



i have a problem by using connector
elements in a basically very simple situation in abaqus standard. I try
to model the damage or failure of this translational connector element
at a certain load level of 1000kN. bevor the system reaches this load
level should the element be very stiff.



does anyone see the mistake ???.



*CONNECTOR SECTION, ELSET=connector, BEHAVIOR=Behavior

axial

*CONNECTOR BEHAVIOR, NAME=Behavior

*CONNECTOR ELASTICITY, COMPONENT=2

1000000000000

*CONNECTOR FAILURE, COMPONENT=2

,,1000000



thanks a lot,

edmundo
