    Contact between distant bodies

    Problem solved ! 1. Abaqus has a hard time to simulate contact invlocing rigid bodies. If you can make really hard deformables then perform the analysis. 2. missing element property: create a set for the elements, then designate property. Thank to all you guys and John! Regards Sam

    Abaqus Interaction, dont understand why this wont work

    Also: garethsimons (Mechanical): It's good that you see a contact. Gives me some hope that baqus can do my problem as well. Do you see the impact if you have a really realy mall step. Can you post the file, I just need to see what your set up is, although, I have almost the same set up, I dont...

    Abaqus Interaction, dont understand why this wont work

    I have had this problem, and I am still struggling to find a solution. I cannot get two objects to collide in Abaqus. I am posting the file with two objects. A very helpful abaqus professional said that it is impacting, but I can't see it even if the time step is very very small. Since the...

    Contact between distant bodies

    Hello again: I somehhow cannot get the parts to realise contact in Abaqus standard or explicit. I either see the objects moving into each other or get locked and not move anywhere or move in the opposite direction of the specified velocity. Any help would be of great help. plz find my file...

    Contact between distant bodies

    Thanks, Rob. I am still struggling to get the other parts to move an realise contact since they are not initially in contact. will try and keep you posted! Thank you so much. Sam!

    Contact between distant bodies

    Hello Rob and DanStro: Thank you for your precious time. I tried a lot, but just can't get a part to push the other. I cannot change the initial position of the parts. But, besides that I just need to push any part to get the other to realise contact and then be displaced! Have posted my file...

    Contact between distant bodies

    Hello there: I am reltively new to Abaqus, but have done almost all my homework before posting this one. Is anyone aware if Abaqus standard can be used to simulate contact between objects that are initially seperated by a finite distance. Or is it that this can only be solved using abaqus...
