hello every one good day.
i am using abaqus to perform a non linear buckling analysis in order to match it the experimental buckling load ,i have to use imperfection in my model but
Increased the imperfection in thickness from 10 % to 90% , LPF is not changing at all its showing a constant value of 1.73979 . What should I do now ? If i multiply it with the applied load it will even exceed the applied load .
When I am decreasing applied load , LPF shooting up, so cannot decrease applied load either .
