This Abaqus video demonstrates a static analysis of three dimensional frame made of 'I' beams. In this video, you will be introduced important topics such as: modeling beam members using wire features, using connectors as well as creating constraint equation for joints.

In this tutorial, you will be introduced to the important topics within Modeling & Preprocessing, such as:
Create a part starting with a Reference Point
Create datum planes and datum lines
Create beam elements in 3D using the ‘Create Lines: Connected’ and ‘Create Wire: Point to Point’ tools
Create beam sections and define beam profile geometry
Orient beams and render the orientations in the viewpoint
Use connectors (wire features + connector sections) to create joints
Use constraint equations to simulate joints
Use line loads
