Preprocessing—creating the model with
Abaqus/CAE
In this section we discuss how to use
Abaqus/CAE
to create the entire model for this simulation.
Abaqus
provides scripts that replicate the complete analysis model for this problem.
Run one of these scripts if you encounter difficulties following
the instructions given below or if you wish to check your work. Scripts are
available in the following locations:
A Python script for this example is provided in
Cargo crane.
Instructions of how to fetch the script and run it within
Abaqus/CAE
are given in
Example Files.
A plug-in script for this example is available in the
Abaqus/CAE
Plug-in toolset. To run the script from
Abaqus/CAE,
select Plug-insAbaqusGetting
Started, highlight Cargo crane,
and click Run. For more information about the Getting
Started plug-ins, see
