This is the calculation for the deflection using Elastic Curve Equations. The reaction force for Point A (Wheel-1) is negative.

Hi, I have the wheel configuration as shown below (This is a robotics project and wheels used are omni directional) Since this is a hyperstatic situation, I am unable to calculate the wheel weight distribution during motion. For a two axle system(4-wheeled vehicles), the weight transfer...

Can I relate the connector forces in Abaqus/Implicit Dynamic and Abaqus/Explicit Dynamic analysis for the same FE model? I have done a Dynamic (Implicit Simulation) for a model which is moving 125mm along an axis. The result for the displacement and velocity are showing smooth curve for this...

@Mustaine3 Thanks for the help. I updated the connector as axial type and it worked.

Hello, I need to specify forces between the interacting faces of two bodies as shown below: It is a model similar to Electromagnetic Lock with the two blocks pulled together with a force equivalent of 200N. I tried using connector elements(Link and Join) but I can't specify the forces because...

The door is kept in open condition at different angles ( 15deg and sometimes higher)

Hi All, In the vehicle door sag FE analysis(Abaqus), we add a gravity loading to the door assembly ( step-1), then a vertical load at the latch point(step-2), and finally a release the vertical load(gravity loading still there). To calculate the permanent set due to gravity we subtract the...
