SIMULIA How-to Tutorial for Abaqus | Shell Structure (Plate) Bending Analysis
This Abaqus video will walk you through an example of simulating a loaded shell or plate structure in Abaqus. It shows you how to define shell thickness and specify section integration properties, in addition to the ability to use the non-linear geometry and how to post process results.
Topics Covered in this Tutorial
Model/Preprocessing:
Work in 3D with a planar shell
Create sections of type "Shell", specify section integration properties and assign shell thickness.
Understand and define shell offset when assigning sections
Decide if the NLGEOM (non-linear-geometry) option should be used and turn it on/off accordingly.
Delete history outputs
Create partitions for the purpose of generating selectable notes
Results/ Post-Processing:
Show element labels on meshed model
Change the sort variable and sort order in the report file
View/change the work directory
