Using Continuum Elements
Element formulation and integration
Full integration
https://featips.com/2019/04/02/what-are-integration-points/
An FE solver computes displacement and force results at the element nodes
Unlike displacements and forces, strains and stresses are not computed at the nodes. They are computed at specific “integration points” within the element.
The calculated stresses and strains are then extrapolated out to the nodes.
Reduced integration
best choice for most general stress/displacement simulations, except in large-displacement simulations involving very large strains and in some types of contact analyses
less sensitive, but still need to consider it
Incompatible mode elements
high accuracy at a low cost
However, care must be taken to ensure that the element distortions are small, which may be difficult when meshing complex geometries;
therefore, you should again consider using the reduced-integration, quadratic elements in models with such geometries because they show much less sensitivity to mesh distortion.

Prescribing boundary conditions and applied loads
In Abaqus/CAE boundary conditions are applied to geometric regions of a part rather than to the finite element mesh itself. This association between boundary conditions and part geometry makes it very easy to vary the mesh without having to respecify the boundary conditions. The same holds true for load definitions.
Partitioning

Using Shell Elements
Use shell elements to model structures
the stresses in the thickness direction are negligible
one dimension (the thickness) is significantly smaller than the other dimensions
The degrees of freedom for the shell are associated with the reference surface.
To verify that the local material directions have been assigned correctly
Tools->Query
Example: skew plate
Creating the mesh and defining a job
Choosing a shell element
1/10 (surface scale not the element scale) use shell
high 1/15 thick shell
low 1/15 thin shell
large strain or small strain
large rotations
Finite-strain shell elements
large strain large rotation
though large strain, approximately less than 10% thickness change
Small-strain shell elements
small strain large rotation
The change in thickness with deformation is ignored in these elements
Because the strain is typically considered small if it is less than 4 or 5%, a strain of 0.8% is well within the appropriate range to be modeled with S8R5 elements.
Thickness change is considered only in geometrically nonlinear analyses
For conventional shells
the strain results only from the Poisson’s effect
stress in the thickness direction is zero
For continuum shells
the stress in the thickness direction may not be zero
may cause additional strain beyond that due to Poisson’s effect
Reduced integration
used with first-order (linear) elements, hourglass control is required
must check if hourglassing is occurring; if it is, a finer mesh may be required or concentrated loads must be distributed over multiple nodes.
The second-order reduced-integration elements
generally do not have the same difficulty and are recommended in cases when the solution is expected to be smooth
First-order elements
recommended when large strains or very high strain gradients are expected
Using Beam Elements
assumption
For beam theory to produce acceptable results, the cross-section dimensions should be less than 1/10 of the structure's typical axial dimension
Shear deformation
model shear
These elements can provide useful results as long as the cross-section dimensions are less than 1/10 of the typical axial dimensions of the structure, which is generally considered to be the limit of the applicability of beam theory
if the beam cross-section does not remain plane under bending deformation, beam theory is not adequate to model the deformation.
not model shear
These elements assume that shear deformations are negligible. Generally, if the cross-section dimensions are less than 1/15 of the typical axial dimensions of the structure, this assumption is valid.
Torsional response—warping
The warping calculation assumes that the warping displacements are small.

Linear Dynamics
Example
Modifications to the model
eigenvalue extraction methods
The Lanczos method
generally faster when a large number of eigenmodes is required for a system with many degrees of freedom
The subspace iteration method
faster when only a few (less than 20) eigenmodes are needed
Results
There is no point in extracting modes whose period is substantially smaller than the time increment used. Conversely, the time increment must be capable of resolving the highest frequencies of interest.

Nonlinearity

Geometric nonlinearity
Local directions
For shell, beam, and truss elements the local material directions always rotate with the deformation.
For solid elements the local material directions rotate with the deformation only if the elements refer to nondefault local material directions; otherwise, the default local material directions remain constant throughout the analysis.
Example: nonlinear skew plate

Multiple step Analysis
General analysis procedures
The starting condition for each general step is the ending condition of the previous general step. Thus, the model's response evolves during a sequence of general steps in a simulation.
Linear perturbation steps
Linear perturbation steps (available only in Abaqus/Standard) calculate the linear response of the structure to a perturbation load. The response is reported relative to the base state defined by the condition of the model at the end of the last general step.
Restart
Restart files can be used to continue an interrupted analysis or to add additional load history to the simulation.

Algorithm
use mapped tri meshing on boundary faces where appropriate
when two faces tie, it is better to turn it on, so both faces have nodes at the same point.
when at some parts the meshing is not as you expect, turn it off
like, at the boundary of the soil, you want it to be only one seed, but it is meshed into 4
