this fell on me as an urgent task.
ANSYS Mechanical v. 12.1
I've got a long metal spiral pipe covered by a thick layer of "rubber". As pipe deforms (Thermal. This I did.) this thing touch a rigid wall and then rubber deforms.
I want to setup a linear force vs. distance between pipe and a wall to represent rubber compression.
How to do it?
I tried a spring, but it's attached to points, so when pipe slides merely slides along a wall a force occures. I need forse as a function of distance between a wall and a pipe not between some points.
Is there a way to setup some contact boundary condition to simulate this?
I will greatly appreciate any help. This is an urgent and important for me.
Please, be specific about all selections and options as I'm no expert in Ansys.
Thank you
