In reply to Beam elements in Abaqus

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your help and sorry for my late response.

I decided to go with MPC subroutine and it did work.

About boundary condition; it's a fixed-free end beam (cantilevered beam). Load is applied at the tip in axial or transvresedirection (depends on the problem) as a tone-burst. It's a dynamic problem about wave propagation in beam.

Regards,

Hello,

Have you tried to use interaction module? I would suggest that you connect the upper half and lower half beam through wires and assign them as a connector either beam or MPC beam. Make suer what kind of constraint you require to connect them?

Just out of curiosity, what are your boundary conditions and how you are applying load? These things decide the axial/rotational degrees of connector elements.

Try with the above.

Jay
