    Two layers Welding How to change the CONTACT to TIE constraint during analysis

    To Mustaine3, Thank you for your suggest. After two days' study, I find the approaches (MPC, cohesive, UINTER ) that I mentioned in first post are not applicable due. And the simple way to achieve what I want is use contact to approximate the TIE once two layers weld together. Regarding to...

    Two layers Welding How to change the CONTACT to TIE constraint during analysis

    IceBreakerSours, Thank you for your opinion. So you think the penalty contact with nonseparation can approximate the TIE constrain. I will try on my model and get back to this Thread later. Kai-Chi

    Two layers Welding How to change the CONTACT to TIE constraint during analysis

    Hi everyone, I am working on ABAQUS\Standard based mechanical (stress) analysis for simulating two layers welding by a moving laser beam. The deformation on the two layers is caused by the external loading and thermal expansion, given that the temperature field has been obtained by another...
