Axisymmetric analysis (Abaqus)

The following Abaqus environments support axisymmetric analyses:

• Structural

• Thermal

• Axisymmetric Structural

• Axisymmetric Thermal

• Axisymmetric Dynamic Explicit

To use axisymmetric elements, you must set a value for the 2D Solid Option when you create a new FEM or Simulation.

• None (Structural and Thermal environments only) – No axisymmetric elements can be used.

• XY Plane, Y Axis – If axisymmetric elements are used, they must be on the XY plane. The axisymmetric rotational axis is Y. When XY Plane, Y Axis is selected in the Structural environment, you can use plane strain, plane stress, and generalized plane strain elements. When XY Plane, Y Axis is selected in the Dynamic Structural environment, you can only use plane strain and plane stress elements.
