Finite element analysis of contact pressures entre Human Buttock Tissue and seat cushion

Submitted by BUI on Thu, 09/11/2014 - 07:34

Hi everyone,

I am trying to simulate with ABAQUS/Explicit for human buttock and seat cushion. I have a problem when I put the mass on Buttock Tissue with 40kg.

How can I put the mass on Buttock tissue in ABAQUS?

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

custom research paper

I am planning to write a paper for ANSYS conference in India.I was working on Static Structural Analysis for the past 1 year.I have experienced various glitches while solving the problem according to the terms and conditions provided, typical convergence behaviour and played with both linear and non linear contacts.
