    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    Correction: I was wrong, the mesh elements doesn't seem to matter. I tried performing on my main model and simpler model using C3D4. The simpler model on the right has more colors.

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    Some update: I tried performing this using another simpler model. It looks like I can do it with 2 interactions: general contact + surface to surface Mesh element: C3D10M However, when I tried using the same inputs with this model, I'm getting Distorted tetrahedral elements.

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    I'm not quite sure what do you mean by that. Since I removed all the BCs of the moving part, I have to use coupling and concentrated force to move the part. I created another coupling that couples all nodes of the part to RP-2. I created concentrated force at RP-2 (I guess this is what you...

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    Ok, I misunderstood you earlier. I've added pressure load acting on the surface that is opposite direction of BC displacement. I just randomly set pressure load as 10N. I ran the job, is my results normal? I still don't see much colours being generated.

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    I removed all BCs for the moving part. coupled all nodes of moving part to a concentrated force. I tried it and there's some stress generated but mostly all dark blue. For some reason the moving part is slanted, I've tried follow and unfollow nodal direction both have the same results. Did I do...

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    No, the only thing I have is BC displacing one part as shown in my first post

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    Sorry, I am rather new to ABAQUS. When I try to change the BC of the moving part, I keep getting problems. If I only select the cube that is the non-contacting part, only that part moves while the non-selected parts doesn't. I've changed the BC of non-moving part to only apply at the base...

    Trying to simulate friction contact of two parts

    Hello, I am a first time abaqus user. I have two identical parts assembled as shown. I'm trying to simulate the friction as they are both removed. These are what I've been using but I'm not sure if they are correct. Step: dynamic explicit Interaction: general contact + penalty friction coeff...
