Hi all,
I am using Abaqus to simulate the behavior of a steel connection using a Static,General analysis. For bolts, the last values for yield stress and plastic strain are 1 and 0.05, respectively.After running the model, I get values of equivalent plastic strain in the bolts of 0.15.
Why do I get values that are higher than the ones I define? Shouldn't I get a maximum of 0.05? What can I be doing wrong?
Thank's,
Paulo Freitas
