Modeling contact in ABAqus

Submitted by ahkulkar on

i am working on modeling hertzian contact (general and standard conact in abaqus). i want to know how to model contact between surfaces of my assembly.  i modeled it but it gives me error saying that my regions in the model are not connected.

How should I go about? is contact modeling different than just constraining the surfaces ?

I am a final year Master of Engineering student at Materials Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Science. I have done my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engg. from Bengal Engineering and Science University, West Bengal, India. Currently I am working on my ME project "Simulation and Validation of Roll-Separating force and Limiting Reduction in Cold Rolling", under Prof Vikram Jayaram, Materials Engg Dept. and Prof S.K.Biswas, Mechanical Engg. Dept, IISc., Bangalore. After completion (June, 2011) of my ME, I want to do Phd.

acceleration load - wave speed deformation

Submitted by dinogomez on

I am trying to apply a horizontal (x-direction) acceleration force to the bottom surface of a column via a explicit dynamic analysis.  Every time I try to run the program, I get an error what states that wave-speed deformation exceeds 1.0 in some of the elements.  Since I’m not interested in the stress at the bottom of the column, rather the response of the column due to the g-load, should I make the bottom surface a rigid body (or surface if I can)?  The DOF in the x direction is free to translate.  Any tips on how to go about this problem would be appreciated.
