Hi,
I am predicting wear depth in Abaqus using Python scripts.
I need to find all the nodes in contact for one part, and find the closest node on the alternative part to pair them. For instance if we have node No. 100 on part 1 in contact, I want to pair that with the closest node on the other part which is in contact, say node No.200 on part 2. The out put requested should be (100, 200). Is there any way to find the nodes in contact and pair them automatically, either in Abaqus CAE or a python code?
Currently, I am working on an axisymmetric model with coarse mesh and pair them manually. I have got only 20 pair nodes right now and it is possible to pair them manually. however, for a 3D model with a refined mesh, it is difficult to find the nodes Number in contact for 2 parts and Pair them.
Any suggestions would be greatly and gratefully appreciated.
