Hi,

I wanted to model Sliding contact with downward disp on a box sliding on another box in ABAQUS.

Used 3D shell planar extrusion for both the big and small box.
Dynamic explicit steps, with general contact (explicit), frictional contact with penalty method
Used two steps (i) Loading (ii) Sliding
Specified downward disp in the loading step
And specified disp in x axis for sliding motion.

When job is completed, only the downward disp is noticed, the box doesnt slide in the second step.
Can anyone help me?
