Connector Elements and Mechanism Analysis with Abaqus
The combination of mechanisms, rigid bodies, and finite elements in Abaqus makes a powerful simulation tool. The mechanism capability expands the ability of Abaqus to model connections among individual bodies in a variety of ways. Connections can be as simple as pins and rigid links or as complicated as nonlinear frictional joints with elasticity and failure. In this course you will explore the variety of connection types available in Abaqus and learn how to define connections that suit your needs.
