Dear Researchers

I have a question regarding the boundary Conditions for a model in ABAQUS.

I have attached a file of Experimental setup which I have to model in ABAQUS.

I am facing problem wrt BC to get pure shear.

I experimental setup I have to clamp the model in a fixture to avoid buckling and sliping to get pure shear but in abaqus I have to simulate the model without clamping Fixture. I am applying these BC on the model. 

I am taking 3D deformable Shell planer with 1 mm shell thickness.

Circles clamping : X=Y=0 Z=free and in rotation X=Y e fixed but Z is free so after loading there can be reduction in thickness in z direction 

Right and left sides above and below are fixed with no translations. X,Y,Z = 0

In middle bar I am applying 2 mm displacement in positive direction but could not get shear in the specific part. 

Kindly give me suggestion which BC and any other commands should I use to get shear.

Thanks in Advance. Waiting for your reply.

Regards
