wedge indentation problem problem/
(OP)
I am modelling a wedge indentation problem using ABAQUS/standard. I am using a user defined element subroutine (which is tested and works very well). Abaqus does not allow to use surface to surface contact option which is better at this kind of problems. i am using node to surface contact (indenter is rigid) with the stabilize option. The convergence is pretty slow at the begining and the job stops in 1e-6mm deformation because of severe discontunities. Can anyone recomend me some contact options for this kind of problems?
Thanks
