non-linear buckling analysis

Static Riks method..how to give imperfection???

hi,i have been doing non-linear buckling analysis using STATIC RIKs method

my model specification: length:65 metre, dia=2.85metre,thickness=0.38meter

and i am having the following doubts:

1.i have done Eigen value buckling analysis first and got the mode values..but for getting the mode shapes which load value i have to apply????(whether calculated euler buckling load value)

2.i have given imperfection as 0.0038 i.e..,10% of thickness value is it correct????

Dear all,

I'm doing a dynamic analysis and optimization of high speed railway bridges. After developing the abaqus input file (*inp), the following errors have occured and I was unable to solve them. I have attached a picture showing the node number that I used to model the train. the car body and the bogies are model as a rigid body in which nodes 6001,6004 and 6501 are the reference nodes.

1. An overconstraint problem. it says "Zero pivot when processing Node 6004 d.o.f 2, node 6004 d.o.f 6 and node 6001 d.o.f 6
