Abaqus cae

Hello everybody,

I simulate the indentation test with ABAQUS CAE, the indenter is simulated as rigid body analytical surface. I also created reference point, but when i submit the job, there is a mistake:

The rigid part instance Part-2-1 is missing a reference point. Either assign a reference point to the corresponding part or include the entire part in a rigid body constraint.

I think i have done everything properly but it doesn't work. if you need i can send you my code.

I am looking forward to your answer.

Hello everybody,

I am simulating contact problem . Two sutfaces are in contact. One of them is anamytial surface. My slave surface doesn't deforms properly, master surface goes through my slave surface. Please help me with advice, which properties should i put for interaction?  What should be the reason of such mistake.

Best regards

Hi all,

       I am having some troubles with the extrude command in Abaqus cae. I have modeled my sample as a 2-D geometry and now I want to move to 3-D for the same section. But I am having trouble extruding my 2-D section. It seems to me very weird and far to complicated the extrusion process in abaqus for such a simple task...

Thank you,
