Hello all,
I was wondering if there is any quick way to define contact-to-contact interactions in dynamic-explicit analysis for multiple surfaces and varying interaction properties.
Thanks for your help.
Hello guys, I'd really appreciate it if you answer my questions.
1- Is it necessary to have gravity load to activate contact interaction (to simulate friction) between two components?
2- What should be g (acceleration due to gravity) unit to be consistent with kips for force and inch for...
Hi everyone,
I am currently working on the modeling of the railroad track. In my model, I have simulated the rail and the crossties by beam elements and used connectors to add longitudinal elastic and friction elements. The rail is pushed by a concentrated force in axial direction.
I am...
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a 3D FE model in ABAQUS, focusing on simulating thermal force resulting in a rail break which generates a gap in the rail.
Model description:
This model applies a compressive load in the longitudinal direction, aligned with the rail length, equivalent...
