Shear Simulation in Pinned Connections (Abaqus Files)

Shear simulation in pinned connections Abaqus model lets you accurately analyze shear behavior in mechanical joints, lap shear setups, and bolted connections. This simulation is built in Abaqus using solid elements and realistic contact conditions — no subroutines needed.

Designed around the tutorial How to Simulate Shear in Pinned Connections | Abaqus Tutorial, this simulation uses solid elements, frictional contact, and boundary conditions that replicate realistic shear behavior in mechanical fasteners or lap joints. It’s perfect for visualizing contact pressure, bolt-hole deformation, stress concentrations, or shear failure mechanisms.

The model is clean, editable, and built in Abaqus 2024 — with a compatible version for 6.14-2 included. No subroutines are required, making it ideal for students, researchers, or engineers analyzing mechanical fasteners, connection zones, or lap-shear specimens.
