Hi Diego!
Thank your support on this!
1. I originally had a stiffness value of around 1E10, but I noticed after iterating when running the analysis in BAILOUT, a stiffness value closer to 5.0E20 caused the VM stress to converge on values similar to the plate-on-plate contact analysis. My last...
It's definitely just a matter of preference. Personally, I'd rather not have a "dummy" plate included in my model if the only property we really care about is the stiffness it imposes for contact.
Hi Blas!
Thank you for the response!
I cleaned up the modfem to highlight the results in question. Please find the modfem attached.
Note that Result 14 relates to Group 5, and Result 29 relates to Group 7.
Thank you!
Hello,
I have a mass element attached to an RBE3 connected to surface #1, and surface #1 is connected to surface #2 via gap elements. Because I’m not concerned about the stress results from surface #1 and just care about the stiffness it imparts onto surface #2, I tried to replace surface #1...
Hello everyone,
I need to merge a modfem that is inches with another that is in mm. I have used the Convert Units command within the model that is in inches and the primary errors I have been receiving are:
• ELEMENT WITH ID = XXX HAS AN INTERIOR ANGLE POSSIBLY GREATER THAN OR EQUAL 180...
