Hello,
My question is related to Ansys WB software (steady state stress analysis, 3D).
I need to understand how Ansys calculates sliding distance in frictional contact.
To do this, I've build simple model, similar to the attached one. Blue block is fixed, yellow is moving on it, the pressure atcting down on upper yellow surface. I have few load steps, with different distance for yellow block.
My conclusions are as follow:
1. If the yellow block is moving in one direction only, the sliding distance represents a sum of the path along the move. It seems to be consistent with Ansys help:
2. If the yellow block is moving in opposite directions during analysis (for example: LS1: x=1, LS2: X=-3, LS3:X=0), I'm not able to interpret the results....
My question is whether do you have any experience with the sliding distance interpretation?
Please help.
Best Regards
