hello

New user of Abaqus, i am working on rubbers contacts, and would like to use Abaqus to understand contact pressure, crack propagation, and make wear prediction.

WOuld you give me some tips?

Thanks
 
Hi,
If you are using rubbers typically you would require a hyperealstic material to model it. Look through abaqus analysis manual and also through abaqus examples manual. they have lots of examples where they have modeled rubber in contact scenarios.
