Simulation of solids mechanics with impact contact and friction, The Siconos software release 3.5.0

Submitted by vacary on Fri, 11/02/2012 - 20:29

Dear colleagues,

For people interesting in the simulation of solids mechanics with impact contact and friction, we are pleased to announce the release 3.5.0 of the Siconos software. The software is open-source, under GPL Licence and can be found at http://siconos.gforge.inria.fr/

It contains several time--stepping integrators for the nonsmooth dynamics and a large colection of solvers of the frictional contact problems that can be used separately.

Frictional Coulomb model in Abaqus

Submitted by Nicholas Fantuzzi on Tue, 09/08/2009 - 10:39

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to add friction in my model.Now I have a body that is simply supported in a direction (vertical) and free to move in another one (horizontal). I want to use Coulomb friction in the horizontal direction in order to reduce displacements in that direction.

I read Abaqus User's Manual vol5 30.1.5 (frictional behavior) and I followed commands written there, but I think that works only with multiple bodies and not with a single body. I'm using Abaqus 6.7-1.

Could Someone help me?

Many many many thanks

Nicholas
