Very nice tutorial. It was pleasure to watch it.

When we define the material and section then does Abaqus considers the self weight of material ?? or we need to define density or some other way to consider the self weight in simulations

I really like the tutorial, thanks for the video! but I keep getting this message "Time increment required is less than the minimum specified". Do you know how to resolve? I followed exactly what you did in the video....

Hello, I tried the Rigid Bolt Connection in 3D. In that case, I assign interactions as BoltShank to PlateHole, BoltsTopNutFace to PlateTopFace and BoltsBottomNutFace to PlateBottomFace. However, I could not be sure that is wright or not. May you give a comment this ? If I have only a bolt I can completed the Job, but If there are more than one bolts, I cannot finish the job (aborted for too many attempts) and I cannot figured it out. Do you have any suggestion to solve this sort of mess ? Do you have any connection sample with bolts ? Or might you direct me to documentation-video-research etc. for this. Thanks, best regards.

Part should be symmetric about X not about Y.
