What about using pipe elements? Abaqus provides pipe elements to model beams with pipe cross-sections that are subject to internal stress due to internal and/or external pressure loading. Abaqus provides a choice of two formulations for pipe elements: 1) The thin-walled formulation, where the hoop stress is assumed to be constant and the radial stress is neglected, is available in Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard; and 2) The thick-walled formulation, where the hoop and radial stress vary through the cross-section, is available only in Abaqus/Standard Check the Abaqus Documentation for more information on this subject.
