Surface to Surface interaction error in ABAQUS

Surface to Surface interaction error in ABAQUS

Surface to Surface interaction error in ABAQUS

(OP)
Hello Guys,
I need help
In my model I have a block. The side plates are fixed to the central block using a nail or peg. The side plates are encastre at the bottom and a pressure is applied on top of central block.

When I use Tie constraint between (plates and central block, Pegs and Central block and peg and plates) it works fine.

I ahve a problem when I have a Surface to surface contact interaction. I need to have a frictionless contact between the central block and the plate. I used Surface to Surface contact(standard),Sliding formulation as (surface to surface) and Interaction property as Tangential behavior (Frictionless).

I have more than 1 TB of disc space in my hard disc.

I get the following error.

***ERROR: An error occurred during a write access to
C:\Users\ajay902\AppData\Local\Temp\ajay902_Tie_square_sTOsINT_2124\T
ie_square_sTOsINT_stdSolver.local_0 file. Check the disk space on
your system.
Thank you so much.

Reduce the model to a quarter of its size by using symmetry conditions. You might have better luck then.

This may be a write access issue in Windows. Try running Abaqus with administrative privileges.
