Introduction
This workshop completes the series of workshops regarding the hinge model. At this
point the hinge model contains all the information necessary to constitute a complete
ABAQUS model. In this workshop you will define and submit an analysis job for the
hinge model, and you will monitor the solution progress. Once the analysis has
completed, you will study the results in the Visualization module.
Note: The replay file CAE/Workshops/Hinge-Mesh.py can be used to generate
