Finite sliding contact inAbaqus
Finite sliding contact inAbaqus
(OP)
Hello,
Can someone tell me please how to set up a finite sliding node to surface contact so that I can take in account the shell thickness.
For example let's say there are two plates with a thickness of 5mm and the distance between them is 6 mm.
How can I formulate a contact between those two. I take in account the initial gap of 1mm by using
*CONTACT INTERFERENCE
Thanks a lot,
Mihai

1) Tabular pressure-overclosure defintion with negative overclosure(=positive clearance) to force contact to occur at an offset. For example:
*surface behavior, pressure-overclosure=tabular
0, -0.5
10, -0.25
50, 0
100, 0.5
2) Explicit only: *Contact clearance and *Contact clearance assignment. This is useful in cases where explicit scales the contact thickness.
