Relative contact motion
Relative contact motion
(OP)
Please help, I really need some inspiration from other FEA users.
I have a problem involving contact between two objects, and the objects move relative to each other, could you please share some experiences of how you achieve this in FEA programmes. I am currently using ABAQUS.
Thank-you.

RE: Relative contact motion
I can't speak to ABAQUS but in ANSYS you would achieve this with a coupling constraint. A quick google for 'Abaqus Coupling Constraint' provided what appears to be some valuable information....
Hope that helps,
