ProblemDescription
This is the NAFEMS1 proposed benchmark (Lees frame buckling) problem. The applied load is based on the normalized (EI/L2) value of F = 996.389 N. The analysis will investigate post-buckling nonlinear behavior of the frame at the applied load location. This tutorial will also describe x-y plotting capability in Abaqus/CAE, including combining variables to generate load-displacement plots. E = 71.74109 N/m2 = 0.0 L = 1.2 m
