Normal and Tangential Contact
Normal and Tangential Contact
(OP)
Hello all,
I have noticed that if I define only tangential contact between two surfaces, ABAQUS does not allow penetration for those surfaces. Does that mean that no normal contact definition is needed (i.e. the normal contact definition is inherent in the normal contact definition)?
Thank you all in advance.

The normal contact definition is not needed. You can simulate a contact with only tangential contact
