ABAQUS -hinge connector (Steo-By-Step)

Very nice. Can I have the input file for this model?

Hi Thank you for the video it's been such a help for me . Do you have idea on how to apply helcoidal connection [bolt and screw ] Best regards

[@Jestermac02]

It seems that the maximum Tension applies when the hinge is nearly fully closed. Why ? it would make more sense that the maximum Tension applies when the hinge is fully opened. Can someone explain that to me ?

Sorry but your model is wrong. If the model routes in the space (changing the orientation of the edge), the local coordinate system should route as well. In the way you defined the local coordinate system this will no happen!
