Defining multiple interaction in abaquss

[Kamyar_K]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is any quick way to define contact-to-contact interactions in dynamic-explicit analysis for multiple surfaces and varying interaction properties.

Thanks for your help.

General contact is currently the recommended approach in most cases, you can use individual property assignments (even based on material pairs) within it. Otherwise, there’s also the Find Contact Pairs tool to automatically define contacf pairs but it often requires manual adjustments.
