    The tutorial demonstrates how to generate components, apply materials properties, boundary conditions and loads to create a finite element model of a notched bar in Abaqus.

    The steps include creating the part geometry, defining the material properties, generating the mesh, applying boundary conditions and loads, creating and submitting the job to obtain results.

    Boundary conditions applied include fixing the bottom edge in all directions, applying symmetry on the left edge, fixing the reference point, and displacing the reference point vertically in a stepped manner.

    Axi-symmetric steel notched bar Tension

    This procedure demonstrates how to generate components, material properties, boundary


    conditions and forces to create a Finite Element model using Abaqus CAE software. The
    model to be created here is a section through a notched bar (an axisymmetric model), i.e.

    Only the right hand half of the cross section is created in the model.

    1. Select create part in the Part module. In the


    dialogue box that appears, name the part workpiece.
    Select Axisymmetric, deformable, shell, type the
    approximate size of 1. Click continue.

    2. Select the line icon . Below the display window, type


    (0, 0.030), press enter and (0.0175, 0.030), press enter
    and (0.0175, 0.010), press enter, and then press escape.
    Select the line icon again, type (0, 0.030), press
    enter and (0, -0.030), press enter and (0.0175, -0.030), press enter and (0.0175,
    -0.010), press enter, and then press escape.
    Select the circle icon 1 , type (0.0175, 0), press enter and (0.0175, 0.010), press enter.
    Select the trim icon, select the right half of the circle, the press escape.
    Select done .
    (Note that all of the dimensions are in metre.)
    If the sketch of the section contains a small rectangle at any of the corners, it should be
    deleted as this will constrain the deformation of the section to maintain the same angle.

    Select the delete icon , then select the feature to be deleted, e.g. the rectangle, ,
    and then Done.

    (Note, selecting the red cross below the window will end the current procedure.)

    Below is a typical illustration of the results that you should obtain, von Mises stress is
    displayed.

    Student must re submit the jop_1 for different deform_up displacement (0.002m, 0.005m).
    You must use your judgement as to whether the mesh is appropriate (e.g. are the elements
    small enough).
