    CAREA in *CONTACT OUTPUT - Output values truncated?

    Hi all, I am doing a contact simulation and would like to obtain the total area in contact. I am able to get an output using: ************************ *Output, history *CONTACT OUTPUT, MASTER=masterSurf, SLAVE=slaveSurf CAREA ************************ However, the output is a single integer...

    2D Orthotropic Hyperelastic Fung Model

    I am working on modelling the response of an orthotropic hyperelastic material (vein) to a given load. Because the local thickness of the material is unknown, shell elements with a constant thickness are used. I am able to get the simulation to run. However, I had some questions about the...

    Nitinol Superelastic Model: Loading and unloading

    Hi, I am currently working on a simulation with a thin Nitinol wire. A rigid body is displaced down until it contacts and bends the wire, producing ~3% max strain. The rigid body is then displaced back up until the two come out of contact. The strange thing is, the simulation runs fine in the...
