Hello there,
today I had a "problem" with a model using imperfections and general contact in Abaqus standard. When I do not use the *imperfection keyword, there are no major warnings in my model. But as soon as I add imperfections, I get the warning message: "THE GEOMETRIC CORRECTION DATA SPECIFIED FOR THE SURFACE ASSEMBLY__General Contact_gcs0_470 SEEMS TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE ORIENTATION OF THE ELEMENT FACES INCLUDED IN THE DEFINITION OF THIS SURFACE. PLEASE VERIFY THE CORRECTNESS OF THE DATA." for every surface assembly involved. Leading to hundreds of warning messages.
I have never had this warning message. Why does it occur and how can I solve it? How can I check the orientation of the element surfaces? The models do converge and behave as expected. The results seem reasonable (I don't have any real experiment to calibrate them, though), but this still bothers me.
Any tips?
