How to perform beam nonlinear buckling with Abaqus

In this video Real FEA shows how to simulate nonlinear buckling of a beam with Abaqus software. Following the correct workflow it is posible to get the Buckling load and stress due to this and eventualy the failure mode. First, it is necessary to perform a linear buckling run in order to get the eigenvalue to introduce the right load in the nonlinear run and get the correct result. Shell elements are used in order to model a beam compression. This is a step by step guide.
