    Abaqus how to avoid objects penetrate to each other

    I have tried to increase the mass and inertia of the rigid body significantly (~600 times of the deformable object) but I am still getting the same results. My deformable parts are made from wire with a beam section, I am not sure if this matters although i think it shouldn't as I am selecting...

    Abaqus how to avoid objects penetrate to each other

    I have tried to refine the mesh of the deformable part and their seed size are 0.5 now. Should I also refine the mesh of the rigid part? I have also added a small mass(1kg) and inertia to the RP of the rigid body. Parts still penetrate to each other after trying both ways. Do you have any other...

    Abaqus how to avoid objects penetrate to each other

    Hello, This is my first time using Abaqus to conduct a dynamic analysis. I'm trying to simulate drop test of a helicopter skid landing gear but the skid is not colliding to the ground but penetrates into it. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Thanks heaps! BelleT...
