c3d4 vs c3d10 in contact
(OP)
Dear all,
The abaqus manual says you should use quadratic (instead of linear) elements when modelling contact. But if i use quadratic the model becomes too big and Abaqus crashes.
Was wondering, whats your experience with this? Is is completely necessary to use quadratic elements?
Thanks in advance!

In terms of contact both element types work well.
