Attached is a picture of the problem. The top portion of the assembly has a pressure of 5.3 MPa applied to it. The side and bottom portions have displacement constraints (the side ones can be seen in this picture).
When I try to run this system in explicit, it fails several hours in complaining...
I am currently working on a complex contact problem involving 10 interlocking components made of 2 simple isotropic polymers. I have already set up the problem using ABAQUS explicit and general contact interactions. Frictionless contact and mass scaling was used, but the explicit problem still...
