This Tech Talk demonstrates an overview of connection types, the definitions of connections in terms of Abaqus keywords, and some examples of what connectors may be able to do for them.
Connector elements allow users to create mechanical combinations of finite element meshes. This makes Abaqus a powerful simulation tool for structures that must incorporate mechanisms. Connectors have the ability to model connections as simple as pins and rigid links or as complicated as nonlinear frictional joints with elasticity and failure. Attendees will see an overview of connection types, the definitions of connections in terms of Abaqus keywords, and some examples of what connectors may be able to do for them.
