Simulate contact between beams elements
Simulate contact between beams elements
(OP)
Hi to everyone,
i need to simulate the behavior of an wire rope using beam element instead of brick.
For achieve this i created seven helices of beams, one for each wire. Now i need to insert contact between beams.
Other fea programs have some 1D elements for simulate the contact between two point. For example Strand7 has the element called: "Point-contact".
There is something similar on Abaqus?
