This video will show you how to construct an axisymmetric model in ABAQUS CAE in general and nanoindentation specifically. You will learn about how to change elastic properties to fit experimental force-displacement curves. You will also learn about following:
– creating axisymmetric geometries
– define and assign material properties
– contact properties
– meshing
– loading and unloading boundary conditions
– post processing results
– plot force-displacement curves
