The key steps outlined in the document are how to create a coupling between equipment and load, add a point load, and run the analysis to check results.

The steps to create a coupling are to create a reference point, select the coupling constraint option, check translations and release rotation, and click ok.

A point load of 2000N is added in the load module.

integration scheme)
► Abaqus/Explicit: Special purpose tool for highly nonlinear systems with
many complex contacts under transient load.
► Abaqus/CFD: Advanced computational fluid dynamics capability

► Abaqus/Electro magnetic: for solving advance electromagnetic


problems
