Thank you for this video. A tutorial on the explicit version would also be good.

Hi how can I find the formulas behind the output results in abaqus??
To be specific I want to know formulas which the software uses to give the reaction forces..

Hi Kenfack, please see our four-part basketball hoop series in which we use virtual bolts, starting with this video: ua-cam.com/video/VPMeCg62I8k/v-deo.html

Is it possible to use general contact between beam elements and shell elements (for example for a beam element resting on top of a wall modelled with shell elements)? I want to model a solely friction connection between a beam seating on top of a wall. In this case can I define the beam as a surface to define the contact interaction between the beam and the shell? If general contact doesn´t work with beam elements, which other options do I have to model contact between a beam and a shell edge?
