Tied boundary condition
Tied boundary condition
(OP)
Hi,
I met some weired thing: I specified tied boundary condition between two surfaces. Initially, the slave nodes are aligned with the master rigid body surface, but after a while, the nodes are no longer tied, as I can see from the displacement calculations. Can you tell me why? Is there any default value set in abaqus that specifies when the tied boundary condition will be broken? Thanks!

Did you use the TIED option of *CONTACT PAIR?

RE: Tied boundary condition
I am running abaqus V6.4-4 -- *Contact pair, TIED option is no longer supported and suggested to use *TIED option to specify the BC before the history portion of the input file.
I am re-run the model using V6.3-1 now, and this time using *contact pair, tied option. I'll see how it goes and will let you know. Thanks very much!
