Simulation of Pure Shear to find shear modulus

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am in the process of finding shear modulus of a solid cube when it is loaded under the action of pure shear.

As a part of pure shear, I want the vertical faces to rotate about vertical axis and at the same time I want horizontal faces to get contracted but they should always remain parallel. I am able to simulate simple shear, which obviously not giving me correct shear modlus, so is there any way I can simulate above conditionsor is there any other way to get shear modulus of a cube?
