Hello Dear All.

I am simulating specimen SC02 of the article :

since I am fresh in abaqus I am unable to adjusted step module. for both analysis:

(The first type is Eigenvalue buckling analysis which is used to estimates the first buckling mode. The second type is to perform inelastic geometrical nonlinear analysis in which the first buckling mode obtained from the buckling analysis is factored by a magnitude of Lu/1000, where Lu is the length between points of effective bracing, and is used as initial imperfection of the structure members to initiate the local buckling in the component plates. In order to prevent local yielding around the loading point, the concentrated load is simulated by a uniform pressure distributed above an elastic rigid solid element. The arc length method (Riks) with the aid of full Newton-Raphson iteration method is used to trace loading path till failure point is reached).

Please guide me to make the correct settings. (step, field output & history output)

sincere thanks.
