Basic ABAQUS questions

Hi,

I am a novice ABAQUS user.  I've found out that I'm more comfortable using ABAQUS/Standard than the CAE version. The GUI is installled on a central server, thus it is slow, doesn't render images very well and keeps on crashing. I have some questions, which I guess are pretty straight forward for advanced users:

ABAQUS/CAE - How can I model a two-storey shear frame with rigid floors and LUMPED masses?

This would seem like a simple task. Anyhow, I am having some trouble.

 Problem description: I want to model a two-storey shear frame with rigid floors and lumped masses? I.e., in all its simplicity, a two-DOF system ignoring the mass of the columns and lumping the mass at the two rigid floor beams. A typical example in all books on structural dynamics.

Hi All,

 I'm really new on abaqus and currently having tremendous problem with it. Could anyone help with it? I'm trying to simulate a thin sheet clamped by rigid jaws and moves it onto designated position. Could anyone advice me on how to its boundary condition and so on.. ANy advice is welcomed. I'm really2 desperate.

Thanks in advance,
