contact analysis with p elements

contact analysis with p elements

contact analysis with p elements

(OP)
Is it possible to do the contact analysis with p elements in Ansys?

RE: contact analysis with p elements

P-Method is for linear static only, so I think the short answer is no. Whay use this method anyway?  

RE: contact analysis with p elements

(OP)
Hi, thanks a lot for your reply, I have not used p method. My analysis is static with non linear material and contact elements.
I know that P method converged faster than h method and p-method also allows more deviation from the ideal element shape than is tolerated by the h-method.

RE: contact analysis with p elements

?!? AFAIK, p-elements do can be used with contacts, though it is clearly stated in the Manual that it is NOT recommended.
