I am analyzing RC beams in abaqus for torque. I am trying to find out torque vs. angle of twist graph. So if anyone knows how to do it this post processing pls reply as soon as possible.
Hi Jaydeep
Try to attach a transverse arm to your beam and apply a vertical load on it. It will give you a torque
Regards
I know amin but when i do so beam translates in vertical direct while in my test setup i have only rotational degree of freedom no translation because of support..
Maybe i do not understand the question, but the simplest way is to connect at the end of your beam a short and very stiff 1d element and then apply the torque to this element. Please find an example in my book that i attach here.
How about defining a master node with coupling to the face of your beam. Then apply a rotation (compatible with torque) to your beam there. On the other end you can monitor the reaction force.
