    Abaqus Explicit quasi-static stick problem in contact

    "Also, make sure you have are allowing the parts to separate after contact in the interaction properties." I tried to check this from manual, but I didn't find anything related to this. I thought that parts are allowed to separate after contact automatically?

    Abaqus Explicit quasi-static stick problem in contact

    I am trying to simulate plastic snap behavior against steel locking feature. However, the plastic snap will stick to the steel. It looks that some plastic part nodes are going under steel part nodes, and general contact prevents them coming back... I have used *SURFACE PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT...

    Abaqus/Explicit connector preload

    Hi, Can somebody advise how to apply a preload for CONN3D2 element so that the force or displacement is an initial condition and applied before *STEP definition? So that the force is in sxial direction and other DoF's are coupled. The purpose is to use this for bolt and contac spring modeling...

    DOE in Minitab 16 - transfer function parameters

    Hi, I have defined earlier succesfully transfer function coefficients in Minitab. I found also a guidline from internet, and it is showing also the same: Stat->DOE->Factorial->Analyze factorial design But I am getting only this list, not transfer function coefficients... Analysis of Variance...
