ABAQUS Tutorial: Dr. Ahmed Elkady

The document provides an outline for an ABAQUS tutorial on modeling a steel beam-to-column subassembly connection. It describes modeling the geometry of parts, defining materials and cross-sections, assembling parts, specifying analysis steps and parameters, defining interactions and constraints, meshing, running the analysis, and visualizing results. It then gives an example of modeling an end-plate steel connection, showing the geometry, cross-sections, material properties defined with a bilinear hardening model, and the parts modeled with solid and shell elements.
