Hi,
Does anyone know the difference between the Clearance card and Contact Interference card in Abaqus ?
It's because I ran a calculation with 2 meshed surfaces which are not strictly parallel.
The Clearance card provides a COPEN equal to the clearance value I specified at the beginning of the calculation, on every nodes of the slave surface.
Instead of the Contact Interference card (without adjust for the contact where I apply the clearance), which provides a variable clearance between my surfaces at the beggining of the calculation, surely due to the initial mesh configuration.
Thanks for the help.
Eric
