Contact in ANSYS Mechanical 13.0
Contact in ANSYS Mechanical 13.0
(OP)
I would like to learn about setting up contact problems in ANSYS Mechanical, using scripts. I have found an Alberta University tutorial (http://ww w.mece.ual berta.ca/t utorials/a nsys/CL/CA T/Contact/ Print.html), unfortunately several of the commands or elements are no longer available in ANSYS 13.
Does anyone know of a newer version of this tutorial (or a similar one)?

Comments have been added, a lot of them are trite if you know what the commands mean anyway, rather than explaining the full program and it's structure; as this is a tutorial it's appropriate to comment like this so others wanting to learn how the simulation is set up can follow the logic.
There are a few bits I do not understand, for example just before the system is solved a selection is made of all the nodes and elements, however nothing is applied to this selection but it is required for the script to run.
