problem with reduced quadratic elements (C3D20R) while used in a node to surface contact discretization
Hello,
Can anyone explain to me what is the problem with reduced quadratic elements (C3D20R) while used in a node to surface contact discretization?
I am using a traction-seperation formulation cohesive surface and for that I can only define node to surface contact. In this case element types of C3D8I and C3D20 work but C3D20R does not work! (I am using Abaqus)
Thanks a lot,

Postdoctoral Position in Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics Available at Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi
Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in hydro-fracturing (fracking) is
available immediately at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu
Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Masdar Institute is established in collaboration
with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research project focuses on
using advanced computational fracture and damage mechanics for simulating
hydro-fracturing of rocks in hydrocarbon fields. The candidate is expected to
have a PhD in the field of geomechanics, or civil engineering with solid
knowledge of hydraulic fracture mechanics and excellent theoretical and
FOR A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE UNIVERSITY
Given the complexity of present and
future global challenges, it is the university´s social responsibility
to contribute to society by understanding the full extent of its needs
and current and future problems, and to prepare it to deal with them
effectively and efficiently (CMES, 2009)1. In this sense, due to its
ability to take the lead in matters of knowledge creation, promotion and
dissemination, the university becomes the ultimate guidance governments
possess in their quest to find solutions to inequality and exclusion.
Management Study Guide
Dear all:
ManagementStudyHQ was started with a vision to help young students in
understanding management related concepts. It contains various articles
related to management and teaches you management fundamentals as well as
advanced concepts. It helps to put theoretical knowledge into practice.
