Hi! i am trying to simulate powder compaction with Drucker-Prager Cap model in abaqus CAE/Explicit, i am using Deformable axysimmetrics parts for the powder and the other part i have created wich is the wall. The thing is that i can not apply friction to my model, my question is: it would be possible to apply friction to the powder without using another part as wall? if not how could I keep together the powder and the wall once i apply the lower and upper forces but allowing the powder contact surface to decrease in his lenght due to compaction?
Thank you
