Finally, a 2D truss under concentrated force is simulated. In this example, all the simulation procedures are explained step by step.

They will be explained completely with examples and figures. In the end, the degree of freedom and plane stress element and plane strain with problems that can use these elements will be described completely. It is necessary to know that one of the most important issues of using simulation software is studying convergence. The description of studying convergence is the last theory content in this lesson.

Two workshops are investigated in this lesson: In the first one, a three-dimension truss is simulated to model a 3D structure in space, using the software tree diagram, reading results, etc. In the second one, a sheet undergoes plane stress and the notes related to plane elements, applying tensional extensive load, reading results in a curved path, symmetric condition and model simplification, software technique for investigating convergence, and so on will be studied.

  • One of the most rampant phenomena in the universe is heat transfer. Heat transfer can cause changes in mechanical characteristics. Heat transfer analysis can be divided into two types: consistent or transient. In this lesson, the settings and tips of these two analyses with examples are discussed.
  • Then, mechanical analyses under the effect of heat transfer analysis will be investigated. In some cases, these analyses (mechanical/ thermal) should become coupled simultaneously and, in some cases, can be performed consecutively. For each one, essential tips and items to detect problem type and usage method with related examples are presented. In the coupled process, hot forging FEA simulation is presented as a workshop.
  • In some simulations, elements suffer from excessive distortion; In this case, you have to use the ALE technique. This technique is described entirely, and its difference with two methods, Lagrangian and Eulerian, is presented. This technique is used in the hot forging process; complete notes and steps to solve coupled include types of heat transfer, radiation, convection, conductivity, heat production caused by friction, heat production caused by plastic work, and dependency of elasticity and plasticity on heat is described.
  • In the second workshop, impact analysis is done. In this process, heat has little time to distribute in the whole matter and another type of heat transfer named adiabatic will be studied. This type of heat transfer and its applications are discussed thoroughly. The material in this process has used Johnson cook’s law, which mechanical characteristics depend on temperature and strain rate.
  • A full explanation of this model, along with the steps to implement on FEM simulation software, is described. Other matters in this example are investigating impact time, velocity changes according to the time chart of the bullet, the force, and the resultant torque graph of several elements and nodes.

Users ask these questions

In social media, users asked common and elementary questions regarding Abaqus, which we answered a few of them; you can see them below.

I. Find the maximum moment capacity

Q: In Abaqus, I modeled a concrete-encased composite column. Biaxial bending is applied to the column. Both axes are loaded eccentrically. Abaqus is used to calculate the buckling load. Now I need to determine the column’s maximum moment capacity. In Abaqus, how can you find ultimate moment capacity?

A: Hello,

You can go to the Visualization module; from the Tools menu, select free body cut. With the help of this option, you can choose any section and any element you want and see its moments and forces. Also, I recommend referring to this link:

ABAQUS course for beginners | FEM simulation tutorial

II. Moment curvature diagram

Q: Please suggest a method/software for plotting the moment curvature diagram for the FRP BEAM. I’m working on Abaqus and unable to plot it.

A: Hello,

First, define a reference point for one end of the beam and define the moment for it, and fix the other end. Select the Total forces and moments (TF) variables from the Field Output Requests in the step module. Run the job. To plot the moment-curvature diagram, plot the TF of the reference point and UR3 (the UR number depends on your moment direction). Then, use “Operate XY data” and combine the two plots.

    Suitable for those who are just getting started in FEA education. Models are clearly explained, and it would be wonderful if encountered as a situational issue and resolved through model optimization for improved outcomes.
