ABAQUS - Contact between a 2D axisymmetric deformable body with an analytical rigid surface

Submitted by jack_luk on

Hello,



I'm trying to figure out how the Interaction Module (surface-to-surface contact) in ABAQUS works. I want to apply a compression force on a 2D axisymmetric

deformable body via an analytical rigid surface(2D and axisymmetric also) - basic stuff. When I launch my simulations,

I get the good strains and stresses at the surface of the body which is in contact with the analytical rigid. Moreover, the reaction

forces and displacement of the analytical surface are adequate.
