Dear all, Im going to analyse a pendulum which strikes a specimen (an izod impact test), now i do not know how to define a reference point on the pendulum in order to make pendulum rotate around it?
and i do not know how to define an angular velocity and an initial angle for the pendulum
please help me, i am really weak in ABAQUS and don't know anybody to help me
thank you
Dear Parnian Hesammokri
see the following video may be help you

Hello,
There are two types of RP: one is in part module (active to the part) and the other is in Assembly module (related to the assembly). You cab specify RP either in coordinates or point. After you create the RP, you can use constrain in interaction module to link RP with your pendulum. And then, in load module you can specify the BC/load to RP to control your pendulum movement.
Good luck.

In relation to reference point, you can determine it as follow
Part module>Tools>Reference point
For assigning an angular velocity
Load module>BC>create>velocity/Angular velocity
Hope this help
Hi everyone,
Does anyone knows if we can see the effort in a reference point on abaqus viewer and If yes how could I do it ?
Thank you,
Dear Parnian
You can define reference point in part module, tool, reference point.
Luck

Dear friend
You shoud go to step module then go to tool and creat reference point.
Dear Parnian,
Follow step 1 part module(active to the part) to Step 2 tool to Step 3 create reference point. I just see the khaled has correctly showed the display window board of ABAUS/CAE 6.14-model database. Similarly you can follow suit. Select parts- click on module-select tools and click cursor on reference point.
Hope it work out for you.
