Abaqus/CAE (ver. 6.

9) Shell Tutorial
ProblemDescription
The aluminum arch shown below is completely clamped along the flat faces. The arch supports a downward pressure of 600 MPa.

In this example, we also practice how to mesh a portion of a geometry and how to avoid modeling unnecessary segments!
