As pointed by several other guys, the sketch gets distorted while putting dimensions to the sketch. I tried adding one more constraint to make the distorted line horizontal (either of horizontal or parallel line constraint) but after doing it, it says the sketch has become overdefined and I am unable to proceed. If someone has figured out the solution, please do let us know. Thank you!
Very helpful video! Thank you so much! I have a question about sketching constraints. I noticed you added "equal length" constraint when sketching. I'm wondering if it could affect the deformation. I've tried "Perpeddicular" and it did.
You mentioned Area=3.14E-4 considering radius to be 1 cm and then calculating A=π*r^2, however isn't the area of the cylinder supposed to be A=2*π*r*h+2*π*r^2 ? Thanks
I think the problem is that when we split the lines, horizontal constraint disappears. That's why I made extra horizontal constraints, to make horizontal lines stay in place. I don't know how the author of this video managed to do it without these constraints

thanks for this great videos. if we want to simulate cycling load we use static or dynamic analysis?

I used parallel constraint instead of horizontal and it worked.

Use coordinates of truss nodes to sketch truss structure!!
Thanks!

stress depends on the cross sectional area of the element but not the surface area of it.
Strange things happen when I put in the length... someone with the same problem ? (student edition 2017)
I think i have the same problem, have you figured it out?
Unfortunately not...
yes, i do now. Feels like the equal length constraint is not enough and the truss takes a weird shape...

Ardak Akhatova Probably bescsuse of different edition of abaqus.
I have problem can you help me?
