Example: creating a model of an overhead hoist

This example of an overhead hoist leads you through the Abaqus/CAE modeling process by using the Model Tree and showing you the basic steps used to create and analyze a simple model.

• Overhead hoist analysis
• Units
• Creating a part
• Creating a material
• Defining and assigning section properties
• Defining the assembly
• Configuring your analysis
• Applying boundary conditions and loads to the model
• Meshing the model
• Creating an analysis job
• Checking the model
• Running the analysis
• Postprocessing
• Rerunning the analysis using Abaqus/Explicit
• Postprocessing the dynamic analysis results
