    output of gap elements in Abaqus CAE

    Hi, thank you very much for your interest. For the abovementioned problem I do agree with you, non-linear springs would be sufficient to simulate the interaction. I would anyway like to use gap contact elements in order to understand how they work, since in the future I will have to substitute...

    output of gap elements in Abaqus CAE

    Hi, thank you for your quick answer. I realised I have not been precise in the definition of the problem: I have to model the interaction between a rigid cylinder and the deformable body in which the cylinder is stuck. Initially, there is a gap between the body and the upper part of the...

    output of gap elements in Abaqus CAE

    I have to model gap elements on a quarter of a cylindrical surface using Abaqus CAE; the gap elements are associated with a pressure-overclosure exponential relationship. CAE does not explicitly support gap elements, so I edited the commands and inserted manually the *GAP and *SURFACE...
