I am trying model a pin connection in Abaqus, Can any one introduce a good reference?

31 December 2020 1 2K Report

I would like to model a real pin connection considering the "interaction" between pin and plate bodies. Drawing their base configuration in Autocad and then importing them as a sketch in Abaqus could be an efficient method?

Mohsen Rezaei

This is a good reference which explains Multi Constraint Point (MPC) in ABAQUS. If you search in the page you can see Fig.12 and title "

Using MPC type PIN"

regards.
