Using Substructure for contact modelling in Abaqus

Submitted by Marko_carl on

I have a
problem to use substructure for contact anaylsis of two gears. I have
already read the example in abaqus Example problem manual for help.
Well, to explain my problem in detail, I have two nastron files of two
gears and later using FORTRAN I am able to write the programm to
