contact interaction

[venture-shankar]

hello all,
usually friction value is given as input to abaqus when two material are in contact
Is there we can define some other parameters instead friction and taking friction as a output from abaqus


Thanks

I don't think so.

If you know the forces and want to get the corresponding friction, then you could use iSight to do a parameter optimization on the friction to find the value that matches the forces.

Why are you asking this question? What is it that you wish to accomplish?
