ABAQUS Contact Element Problem
ABAQUS Contact Element Problem
(OP)
Hello,
I just started ABAQUS last week so bear with.
Im trying to get two (2D) beams to come into contact and continuously deform together under a distributed load.
I can not get the beams to stop going through each other. When I define a master/slave surface along with ridged constraints the code never complies and I get swapped with errors.
Does anyone have a link or a file of a tutorial for setting up a basic case of two beams colliding?
Thanks,
PJ

Also, the verification manual has a whole section on contact problems.
Hope this helps.
