I'm simulating an interaction between an edge (discrete rigid) and a cuboid sensor (soft material, read pressure value of each element). There is only one step: indent the edge on the sensor. But in the results, there is no deformation of the sensor pad and the pressure distribution cannot be...

Hi rstupplebeen, I followed your steps, it works and the part can be meshed finally!! Many thanks! Actually, the error saying some elements (the holes) are not assigned sections happened again, but after I assigned sections to these regions it was solved!

Sorry for the mistake. I thought you referred to the appearance of the model... I uploaded the cae model to this post.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b586886a-d1ce-43f3-b9a0-71bc0f6739fa&file=cortexCubeNodule.cae

Hi Stupplebeen, Here is the section view of the model.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1dfc04f7-7e3f-4bee-9797-76abea3bc9b5&file=sectionView.png

Hi Stupplebeen, Thanks for your reply, the attachment is the model.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0a61bd31-62bd-4b12-82d6-04a380e87456&file=model.png

Due to some reason, it was meshed at last, but when I submitted the job, there is an error coming out "Error in job cubenodule: 8 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection." I think it is still due to the nodules, but I...

Hi rstupplebeen, Thanks for your advice, I merged the nodules with the cortex. But the merged part still cannot be meshed (I used tet element type) as shown in the attached picture. Any suggestions...

Hi acspain, Many thanks for your advice! It works by using your method! Though I still don't know how it works in details... And the indenter stops at the top of the sphere due to some reason. I define many steps in which the indenter follow the sphere surface by 1 radian at each step, I don't...

Hi corus, Thanks for your reply. Actually the highlighted area are holes embedded in the semi-sphere. Any suggestion? Thanks.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=11631693-83d7-4ea4-8444-5c75707cd1bc&file=indenterpath.png

Hi acspain, Thanks for your reply and patience. 1. I have uploaded one stretch of the intender-organ interaction to this post, and from the stretch you can also see the path of the indenter. 2. Thanks for your suggestion. 3. I'm still reading the manual you suggested and it is very useful. But...

I'm modelling the interaction between an indenter and an organ of semi-sphere shape. It is assumed that there are three small sphere nodules embedded in the organ. Thus there are three sphere holes in the organ part and three sphere noodles are they filled to these holes in assembly step. But...

Hi acspain, Thanks for your reply and it is helpful. 1.I have attached the sketch (section view) of the organ tissue of semi-sphere shape to this post, hope it can help a bit. My task is to use a cylinder indenter to follow its surface(in global coordinates, its path is x^2+y^2=r^2,z=0). 2.you...

Hi IRstuff, it is my first time to post in the forum... Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi there, I am new to Abaqus,and I'm modelling the interaction between a cylinder indenter and organ tissue of semi-sphere shape. I want the indenter follow and pressure the sphere surface. Is it possible to define a boundary condition to follow around the sphere surface at a constant velocity...
