NUMERICAL RESULTS QUALITY IN DEPENDENCE ON ABAQUS PLANE STRESS ELEMENTS TYPE IN BIG DISPLACEMENTS COMPRESSION TEST

Abstract

The paper presents a brief description of the Abaqus Simulia plane stress quadrilateral elements (CPS4R, CPS4I, CPS4, CPS8R, CPS8). Comparison of the results quality obtained using each of them was done. There was considered two dimensional big displacements compression test for a highly orthotropic material. Simulations were performed for the compression in two perpendicular directions.
