How to SEMI-AUTOMATICALLY apply Periodic Boundary Conditions in ABAQUS

Do you know that you can apply Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBCs) on any 2D domain without resorting to tedious manual methods or use of an ABAQUS plugin? This is what this video is about. It introduces a semi-automatic way of applying PBCs on 2D domains. The video opens up with an theoretical introduction to PBCs before a description of the PBC2DGen Semi-automatic script. Finally, two case studies (uniaxial tension along X-axis and pure Shear XY simulations) were undertaken to demonstrate the use of the code in real problems.
