32.10.2 Elastic-plastic joint element library
Product: Abaqus/Aqua
Overview
This section provides a reference to the elastic-plastic joint elements available in Abaqus/Aqua.
Element types
| JOINT2D | Two-dimensional elastic-plastic joint element |
| JOINT3D | Three-dimensional elastic-plastic joint element |
Element output
The relative displacements and rotations corresponding to the forces and moments below are chosen by requesting the corresponding “strains.” Elastic and plastic strains are available. For a spud can the vertical (plastic) embedment since the start of the analysis is given by PE11; the total vertical embedment is available as PEEQ.
JOINT2D
S11 | Total direct force in the first local direction. |

S12 | Total moment about the third local direction. |
JOINT3D
S11 | Total direct force in the first local direction. |
S22 | Total direct force in the second local direction. |
