what is the best way to simulate all stages of this problem to get force-deflection curve?
Maybe you can have a look to those 2 files here
thank you, but basically my question is about stage 1 to 2. How to make prestressing of the bow, so that bowstring has pretension. I think maybe *equation/remove may help or something like that.
This is actually used as an example of multistep analysis workflows in Abaqus course materials and documentation. There are 3 steps:
- static with Nlgeom for pretension
- static with Nlgeom for pull back
- dynamic implicit with Nlgeom for arrow release
Symmetry would be helpful here. Then you can check this paper for more details: https://www.brown.edu/Departments/Engineering/Courses/En2340/Projects/Projects_2015/Carlson_Ryan_Final_Project_Report.pdf
