Dear all,

I am launching a simulation of a pipe whch by expansion hits a wall. the wall is placed at 9m of the pipe in the Y-direction.

to simulate the contact, I created a new entity (the wall) and i gives to my wall propriety of a contact.

*CONTACT PAIR,INTERACTION=WALL
PIPESURF_WALL,WALL
*SURFACE INTERACTION,NAME=WALL
1
*SURFACE BEHAVIOR,PRESSURE-OVERCLOSURE=TABULAR
0.0,0.0
10.0,0.017
15.0,0.018
30.0,0.019
100.0,0.020
*FRICTION,ELASTIC SLIP=<ax_slip_peak1>,ANISOTROPIC
0.0,<mu_sleeper>

when i launch the simulation, i always get a problem of overclosure. did anyone have an idea of how avoid that.

Thanks in advance

Charif.
