Finite elements method is quite easy in comparison with analytical methods, , however if the user misuse it the outcome will be inaccurate or even wrong. As a result, any numerical model must be verified by experiments or field measurements. Only then the model is acceptable for use. Since there is no specific guidelines for […]
Actually node label is a number to identify the nodes of element . Each node or element has a unique number to be reported in the output file. As a result, whether you want to plot a curve for a specific point or to understand the report file, first you need to extract the labels […]
Shear locking error As it is said earlier, reduced integration elements are suffering hourglass effect due to their low bending stiffness. On the other hand higher bending stiffness of full integration elements might cause another numerical issue, called shear locking effect. Fully integrated first order elements, such as solid elements, Timoshenko beam elements, may exhibit […]
Why ABAQUS is perfect for Civil Engineering Obviously, Finite Element Method (FEM) is one of the most effective methods for numerical modeling. Among several pieces of civil engineering software, which are designed based on FEM, Plaxis, SAP and Abaqus are probably the most well-known ones. In this article we give you a summary of some […]
