ABAQUS Pre-processing for bracket and cradle analysis

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/303512.html

The hands-on exercises comprise of setting up an analysis for the linear static response of a cradle and bracket assembly to a 100 kN load on the bracket, with the cradle??s ends fully constrained. Creating an ABAQUS input file for this analysis using HyperMesh is broken down into two sections:
Complete the model data
Open HyperMesh file containing some pre-defined model data
Define material and section property for cradle
Create *KINEMATIC COUPLING to constrain bracket to cradle

Define the history data
Create *STEP and *END STEP options and define analysis procedure
Create *BOUNDARY at the cradle??s ends and add to *STEP
Apply *CLOAD to bracket and add to *STEP
Specify output requests and add them to *STEP
