Hello,
I like to know how to make a simple rectangular wall (input as shell element) fall due to wind load in Abaqus when the pressure is distributed on top half of the wall. I tried making general contact with the bottom of the 2D rectangle to the top surface and applied pressure on top half but it is not falling. Next I tried applying boundary condition on the bottom of rectangle by locking translation in X and rotation in Y and Z direction, where is rectangle is in XY plane and load direction in Z direction. I want it to fall or rotate like hinge door how can I achieve that? Can somebody help
I like to slide the wall to the ground like in reality and I like to try in shell element because this is just a starting for some complex structure I am going to test. Like in reality I mean when you push a rectangular block it falls and shakes and moves a little farther on force direction. I am trying to achieve something similar but with wind force. I like to make it fall on the ground completely. So is it possible? If so can you tell me the interaction property and boundary conditions that makes it happen. Do we also need dynamic explicit in step?
