Thanks everybody, really useful advice from everyone.
It turns out that only the first section that comes into contact has a positive CPRESS value. Everywhere else, the balloon goes right through the vessel and the respective CPRESS value is 0. My guess is the vessel geometry needs to be...
I am using standard and have defined the interaction as surface to surface with small sliding and all default parameters.
The interaction properties are hard contact for normal behavior and penalty with specified friction coefficient for tangential behavior.
As of now I am modelling the...
As suggested by the title, I am attempting to model a balloon expansion inside a coronary artery. The balloon is a uniform cylinder, whereas the artery is a non-uniform cylinder (See attached picture). I want to apply a given pressure inside of the balloon, causing it to expand until it touches...
