Thanks for the suggestions Robert.
I've been working on a model which is in contact at the initial step and has a simple linear mesh as you suggested, see attached. It seems to produce very similar error and warning messages as other model I've been playing around with today. I've also enabled...
Robert,
Thankyou for the response. I've attached the .inp and .cae files which were modelled on Abaqus 6.9-1 and a picture of the mesh density.
- Specimen part is 4mm x 1.5mm
- Tool is 50 microns tip raduis
- Indentation is 25 microns.
- Mesh
- 200 element (4mm slave surface length)...
Hi all,
I've been trying to learn Abaqus and model a slow speed scratching process which replicates an experiment to analyse residual stress.
So far I've been able to model the indentation step but cannot seem to drag the tool across the surface to create the scratch.
I'm not 100% sure I am...
