Thanks a lot for your input. I did not know this. I thought it will only deal with the included surface pairs.
So to select individual surface pairs , I need to go with surface to surface contact? But I am not sure if its possible to select two different sides of same surface in Surface to...
Hello All,
I am simulating contact between a fabric (consisting of membrane elements) and a stick (consisting of Analytic rigid body) using Abaqus/Standard. The overall assembly detail I have attached below:
The stick falls over the fabric and rotates to twist the cloth. Here is the image...
Actually I used membrane elements to avoid any bending resistance. I need it to act like a fabric.
I am using 4 contacts :
1. Surface to surface contact (Standard) between ball and hyperelastic material.
2. Self contact (Standard) between 1st surface of the hyperelastic material.
3. Self...
Thanks for the reply.
I am using M3D4(4 node quadrilateral membrane) elements. Actually I have to use Implicit dynamics as per the problem statement of my thesis.
Hello All,
I am trying to simulate the contact problem of hyperelastic material with a rigid body in Abaqus-Standard using Implicit dynamics. Basically the hyperelastic material is falling upon a rigid ball (Analytical rigid) moving with certain velocity. During the simulation I observed that...
