You must assign an element type key to a user-defined element. The element type key must be of the form Un in Abaqus/Standard and VUn in Abaqus/Explicit , where n is a positive integer that identifies the element type uniquely. For example, you can define element types U1, U2, U3, VU1, VU7, etc.
What is the unit of U3 in Abaqus in the result. degree or radian? I performed quasi-static analysis on gears in ABAQUS. After analysis, I extracted the U3 parameter to measure the gear
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.
