Dear All,
I am modeling rubber seal with hyperelastic material and I am using CAX4R Element for modeling. I achieved contact solution using initial analysis and as an output I got contact pressure and radial and axial displacement of the nodes.
Now I want to use this stored displacements as a displacement constraints to the original mesh with no contact pairs as it was in the first analysis. How can I give these stored data of the displacements to the nodes. I want to give the displacement constraints to the nodes which where in the contact with the rigid body in the first case. I cannot input these values one by one as no. of nodes are large. Can I use user subroutin for this? My ultimate gole is to achieve the "Reduce Stiffness Matrix" for the Master degree of Freedom.
I will really appriciate anyone's reply.
Thank you.
