course, and in principle ABAQUS should be able to find them, but it is not coded to do so. To demonstrate that this is the cause of the problem, in the Load module create a new BC that will constrain the displacements on the inner surface of the lowest hole in the wheel (see the figure). Prescribe a displacement U1=U3=0, U2= - 0.005. Then return to

A Float, a Complex, or a SymbolicConstant specifying the displacement component in the Abaqus ignores them. If your model is anything similar to figure 3.10 (your attachments), then the boundary conditions at the bottom edge are U1=0, U2=0 and U3=0 ( your Y axis is vertical). All

So if you define a cylindrical coordinate system, at a particular point U2 = tangential displacement, UR3 = rotation about local "z" axis (axis that runs throught the point of interest and is parallel to the cylindrical coordinate system axis). To edit an existing base motion boundary condition using menus or managers, see Editing step-dependent objects. In the Basic tab, select the Degree-of-freedom to specify the direction for which the base motion is being defined. This direction is always a global direction: U1, U2, U3, UR1, UR2, or UR3. ZU3Mc2i.
