Thank you very much, How much do you think this would cost to have it done professionally? AM

element is a 250x250x30mm piece of glass with a 16 mm bolt in the centre I’ve fixed the bolt hole and applied the load to one face of the glass Thanks I am just trying to see if the connection is safe

Hi thanks for the reply What it shear damage initiation criterion? Also what criteria would you recommend? Also I only have student edition 1000 nodes Many thanks

Hi This is my stress output the element is a 250x250x30mm piece of glass with a 16 mm bolt in the centre. The glass is loaded with 1kN of force Does this look about right?https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=26cfd41b-ea66-41ef-8490-3d9c67ef6db4&file=Bolt_1_V_mises.pdf

Hi When using abaqus to check if an element is failing in shear what's the check that you need to carry out as I am assuming that the program will not tell you it is failing? I am trying to find the maximum load on a single bolt single shear assembly in a brittle material. Many thanks AM

Hi Thanks for the reply 2 more questions please 1- when I plot the graph of reactions I am getting a separate line for each node rather than a total 2 - how do you read a abaqus.rpt file? Thanks

Hi Thanks at the moment I am just probing values and summing them?

does any one on here do this for a living?

I am analysing a flat plate with UDL (inputted as a pressure) 3.1 x 1.2 m UDL = 700N/m2 total load = 2600N I have 62 nodes around the perimeter my RF is coming out really small - nodal RF = circa 0.2 I am assuming this should be N 0.2x(3.1x2+1.2x2)= 1.72N where as it should be -...

Hi How would you go about doing it manually ? I guess it’s not print screen paste Thanks

Hi Can somebody let me know what is the best way to export the results into a presentable report? I am analysing reaction forces from a glass plate Thanks Andy

Hi Thanks for the answers Its a glass beam with a line load added as a pressure (1.25 kN/m) = (1.25*1000/0.3 = 40667) 3100mm long 300 mm deep 30mm wide fixed (x,y,z)at the two ends only Thanks Andy

Hi Does anyone know why this is happening (On the attachment) and is not a nice smooth curve? Thanks in advance Andyhttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=22e75399-5a11-4b8f-b1b4-d91894ee9e64&file=fin_deflection_error.pdf

Hi Am I right in assuming that the reactions at all the supported nodes should be equal to total load applied? Many thanks

Hi Feaway I don't think I have applied symmetry boundary? where do I find it to apply it Your help is much appreciated
