Abaqus step definition
Hello everyone.. Consider a cantilever for sequential load steps in abaqus.
Fist step I want to apply imposed displacement of 2mm at free end.
2nd step I want impose +/-6mm Z displacement at free end (total 3
cycles. (One cycle= +6 and -6 mm in z direction)
Can somebody let me know how to do this. how to define two steps ?
Thank you in advance

TSHR output problem
Dear colleagues,
I have one question concerning the TSHR (transverse shear stresses) output request in application of Thick Shell S8R elements in Abaqus/standard.
the follow qarning occurs: Output request tshr is not available when *transverse shear stiffness is specified on the *shell section definition or a material in the shell has been defined without *elastic
Can anybody please help with an advioce or two, on how to solve this?
all the best

Abaqus Fortran link
Dear All
I have installed Abqus 6.12 on Win7 64bit operating system. i want to write some routine abaqus. Can anybody guide me what are suitable versions of Fortran and Visual Studio and how to install them for sucessful running.
how to link abaqus with matlab ?
You should access the abaqus results (*.fil) file via MATLAB.
In order to take your results into a fil file you should specify *FILE FORMAT, ASCII along with *EL FILE and/or *NODE FILE, etc. options in your abaqus input file (assuming that you run Abaqus/Standard).
After creating the results fil file, go to section 5.1.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Manual to find details about how to read the fil file. You can use this information to read this file using MATLAB.
