Equation and Tie Constrains in Abaqus

Submitted by um_soton on

Hi all,

I have a question about constrains. Is it possible to apply equation constrain and tie constrain to the same node together in abaqus? I am trying to apply equation constrain to the slave nodes of another tie constrain. Is it possible to make a sequencing for example for those over-constrain nodes?

All the best,

Hi freinds,

I have a model in ansys, I did modal analysis on it, but low frequency don't appear in it. in experimental results appear low frequency . please help me, why low frequency don't appear in ansys.

Fillet Weld in ABAQUS

Submitted by ACSU on

Hello everyone,

I want to model a connection between two steel plates which form a T-section. The welds are fillet weld. Do you have any recommendation how to model the weld? One way I think of is to connect the two plates with two solid elements weld through tie constraint. You think that's a right way of doing that?
