ABAQUS/Explicit v6.9 - contact penalty algorythm
ABAQUS/Explicit v6.9 - contact penalty algorythm
(OP)
Hello there,
I have been working on a contact problem between a deformable body and a rigid plate. I want to try and use the penalty constraint enforcement method but the processor seems to give an error when I use the following:
*Surface Interaction, name=ContactProperties
*Surface Behavior, Penalty=Linear
Using Direct, or Penalty=Nonlinear seems to give the exact same mistake. The .dat file says the processor does not understand the additional command Penalty or Direct.
Has anyone experienced a similar error? Do you know how to overcome it?

I am only guessing, but both these option (direct, penalty) can be use only with Abaqus/Standard.
You did not write which Abaqus Standard or Explicit you are using.
