This is the Example Problems Guide for Abaqus. It contains many solved examples that illustrate the use of
the program for common types of problems. Some of the problems are quite difficult and require combinations
of the capabilities in the code.

The problems have been chosen to serve two purposes: to verify the capabilities in Abaqus by exercising
the code on nontrivial cases and to provide guidance to userswho must work on a class of problems withwhich
they are relatively unfamiliar. In each worked example the discussion in the guide states why the example
is included and leads the reader through the standard approach to an analysis: element and mesh selection,
material model, and a discussion of the results. Many of these problems are worked with different element
types, mesh densities, and other variations.
