I was intimated the first time I opened ABAQUS. All that I wanted to have a course that is simple but explains the reason for clicking this or that button. This course will provide you with a strong foundation to start in the ABAQUS modeling world.
This course is simple, this is its outline:
1) We have loaded a steel ruler with a bag of oranges, and we measured the deflection.
2) We modeled the ruler and the loading on ABAQUS that uses finite element analysis.
I will explain to you every step I followed so that you understand rather than just follow the procedure. I promise you will have fun and learn a lot from this course. Hope you enjoy it.
