interaction

Hello All,

I am trying to build a homogenized model of beam elements and 2D solid elements in abaqus 6.12. I tried connecting beam elements with plane stress elements through sharing (common) nodes with basic interaction module. The node of beam element (lower end) and node of solid element (upper) are connected through a wire offered in interaction module. This wire have been assigned connector properties. I tried to connect with axial (translation) + rotation connector, so the bending of beam can be transferred to solid elements. But I did not get expected behavior.

Hi all,

I have been trying to model the surface interaction between two blocks of material using surface-based cohesive elements (*cohesive behavior). This works well in ABAQUS CAE (standard) when I set the material properties as "Mechanical, Elastic" so no problem with that.

However, I would now like to use the material properties from a fortran code. To do this, I was planning on defining the elements using *UEL with an overlay to record all the values. Is this compatible with cohesive zone elements? 

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to add friction in my model.Now I have a body that is simply supported in a direction (vertical) and free to move in another one (horizontal). I want to use Coulomb friction in the horizontal direction in order to reduce displacements in that direction.

I read Abaqus User's Manual vol5 30.1.5 (frictional behavior) and I followed commands written there, but I think that works only with multiple bodies and not with a single body. I'm using Abaqus 6.7-1.

Could Someone help me?

Many many many thanks

Nicholas

I use the abaqus present , how can apply a tightening torque between an implant (screw) and the bone with abaqus......... thank you
