    Tight Condition when Burning Off Fuel

    When watching NASCAR races on TV, they say that as the car burns off fuel it tightens up (understeer). This seems counterintuitive to me. I would think that you would see more oversteer as your rear end lightens up due to emptying the gas tank. Could anyone explain this to me?

    Contact Problem in Standard

    Hi Folks, I'm running a contact analysis where I slide elasto plastic spheres across each other and have had pretty good results so far. I'm running a parametric study and changing the interference for each run. I'm on one of my last cases now and cannot get the darn thing to converge. I'm...

    Pre-Ignition vs. Detonation

    The octane thread got me thinking about pre-ignition vs. detonation. My truck, a 93 toyota with the 22-re engine with 192k miles on it, 'pings' under what I would consider a higher load condition (in 5th gear climbing grades while trying to accellerate under mid to full throttle situations). I...

    electromagnetics in Abaqus

    Hey guys and gals, I was just wondering if anyone has used ABAQUS for electromagnetic analysis. I have a sliding contact model that I will be applying a voltage across to determine stresses, strains, deformations, magnetic forces, temperature changes, etc. I know ANSYS can handle...

    Removing Part for Post Processing

    I have two parts in sliding contact and would like to view the surface where the two parts are in contact for post processing. I have tried to define a cut plane, but there are portions of the part I would like to remove crossing the boundary obscuring my view as sliding progresses. Is there a...

    Extracting Contact Half-Widths from CAE

    Hello all, I'm trying to extract the contact half-widths from a spherical sliding contact analysis. I say half-widths because the contact area will be eliptical. Anyway, what I'm envisioning is finding all the nodes w/ positive pressure (in contact), then finding their location and...
