Is there a way to determine how much time is required to solve a contact problem?
Abaqus solved a similar problem with half the number of elements in 30 minutes but this analysis has been running for more than 3 hours now.
According to the Data file, the memory to minimize I/O is 3141 but I...
Hi,
I'm working on a solid contact model involving sharp edges and small surfaces. I am trying to get my results to converge but I can't. I started with a coarse mesh (~8000 tetrahedral quad elements) and refined the mesh by using smaller global seeds in the area of interest while maintaining...
Hi,
I am working on a model of a 3D screw in a cubic block and I want to make sure it is done properly. I wish to apply a force in the U1 direction so I created a reference point on the screw heard surface and used Kinematic Coupling to tie it to the surface. I only checked U1 because this is...
