Contact
(OP)
Hey,
Can anyone suggest if we can have a Contact(Interaction) deactivated in a step when load reverses in the same step. I have a Periodic amplitude and so I want that as the load direction is reversed the Interaction definition gets Inactive.
Thanks in advance!!!!

RE: Contact
Abaqus has option to turn on/off contact during a step.
Your only option it is to split your analysis into separate steps.

RE: Contact
I know LS-DYNA has that option. Unfortunately, Abaqus does not.
