I just reviewed my results again. I plotted the von mises stresses before but when I plotted CPRESS, I had values of zero. So I am not getting contact pressure between the surfaces. Now I am totally confused.
Yes, I do have CPRESS results. I also characterized the frictional behavior between the surfaces using a coefficient of friction. Could it be I do not have a large enough contact pressure?
Hi,
I have a simple contact problem. I have a 2-D model of a soft material in contact with a harder material. The harder material is constrained and the soft material has a body force and a velocity applied to it. I have defined the contact surfaces, developed the contact interaction with the...
