hello all, I was wondering if someone could help me imprive my model of compressing arubber seal by seeing the warnings I am getting below. I am plotting a load deflection curve for the compression but it has quite a sharp peak that I think should not be there and I am wondering if it is due...

Thanks Conor

hello all, I have recently modelled a contact problem of rubber bending over some steel and now wish to find out the contact area between the two surfaces after deformation. Thanks for your help again in advance Conor

hey all, I am using the macro tool to record myself importing geometry and then setting up contact between parts automatically. Then I change the 2d iges files I am importing using another cad package (catia) and am trying to get a contatc analysis to run with the specific geometry I have...

hey all, Thanks for the help so far. I got the rubber seal to compress by having a rigid surface ome into contact with it. Abaqus is quite friendly to use I am finding. However, I was wondering if I could get assistance on two other topics. 1: How can I generate a Compression Load Deflection...

hello all, I am new to Abaqus and have used Ansys before but am having a bit of trouble adapting to it. I am currently attempting to model the compression of a hollow rubber seal that is constained between two rigid surfaces and the upper rigid surface begins in contact with seal and then...

Dear all, I am currently trying to examine the best approach to take in order to model a contact during a quasi-static peg in hole insertion operation in Ansys 6.1. I am finding it difficult to see what is the best approach to take as contact analysis seems quite complicated. I was wondering...

Hello I am using Ansys 6.1 Regards Conor

hello all, I am currently trying to set up a contact model to model a cylindrical peg being inserted into a cylindrical hole in 3 dimensions and monitor the contact forces and moments on the peg based on various lateral and angular misalignments. I am planning on modeling the peg and the...
