ABAQUS Contact Simulation
ABAQUS Contact Simulation
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to simulate frictionless contact between two axisymmetric bodies in ABAQUS. The body on top is constrained to stay adhered to the body below it while a uniform load (acting upwards) is applied to it. Since the two interacting surfaces are frictionless, I need to restrict the degree of freedom in the axial direction while keeping the degrees of freedom in the tangential direction free. But the Tie Constraint in ABAQUS restricts all degrees of freedom, fusing the bodies together. Is there some way of doing this?
Thanks so much!
