Topic 4 Introduction of Abaqus/Explicit 7 / 8 Disember-2013

1.0 Run Analysis using Abaqus/Explicit

Example: creating a model of an overhead hoist
From Abaqus/Standard (static step) Abaqus/Explicit (explicit dynamic step) 1)Copy existing model to new model name: Explicit * may collapse existing model to avoid confusion. 2) Replace analysis step i) Model tree step apply load replace Replacement step dialog box i) Dynamic, Explicit continue (boundary conditions, loads, contact interations remains the same) ii) Edit step dialog box basic tabbed page step description: 10kN central load suddenly applied iii) Set time period of step = 0.01s ok
