Contact

Different kinds of contact are shown

With this deck you can calculate contact between two plates. Differences between the keywords *CONTACT_NODES_TO_SURFACE, *CONTACT_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE and *CONTACT_ONE_WAY_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE can be studied.  …more

This corresponds to the previous example. Usage of *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SINGLE_SURFACE and *CONTACT_FORCE_TRANSDUCER_PENALTY keywords is shown.  …more

A box is lying on a plate. Contact between box bottom nodes and plate is specified with *CONTACT_TIED_NODES_TO_SURFACE keyword. A second plate above them is given an initial velocity in direction of the box. Contact between second plate and box upper nodes is specified with *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_NODES_TO_SURFACE keyword.  …more

This series of examples shows how to scale the penalty stiffness in contact problems. The influence of this scaling on the solution is shown by the example of a soft ring in contact with a rigid wall. In this first example the penalty factor obviously is to low.  …more

This is a small example of one bar impacting a second one. Surface to surface contact is employed.  …more
