I am new to Abaqus modelling and for studying I am modelling a damper seen in a research paper. I believe I have modelled it correctly, but when I run the analysis the model shows barely any deformation.
The model is a plate damper with slits and connecting bolt holes. The right side bolt holes are encastre and the left ones are coupled to a reference point. A cycic displacement is applied through this reference point. Both material and geometric nonlinearities are considered.
Can someone help? I have attached the files.
Could you attach the screenshots of your boundary conditions, as well as your results? I do not use Abaqus, though the problem seems to be more general about the methodology, not the software itself
I got it working. There was a problem with the plasticity data I entered. Thank you for the replies.
