MSC NASTRAN CONTACT ANALYSIS WITH TRANSIENT LOADING
MSC NASTRAN CONTACT ANALYSIS WITH TRANSIENT LOADING
(OP)
Hi friends. I was doing a contact analysis problem in MSC Nastran. I need to apply transient load ( Time varying sinusoidal load) to the problem. Can i use SOL 400 for solving this. SOL 400 supports contact but does it support transient loadings. Please help

sol 112 supports contact

Yes SOL 400 will solve transient nonlinear and transient linear problems. For touching contact, use the ANALYSIS type of NLTRAN and define your time stepping strategy on the NLSTEP entry.
