Cont_001 Mechanical Contact Example
Contents
This tutorial example will help to define contact relationships between two geometry entities (see Contact Data for more information about contact options). The example considers a cube which slides above two slightly separated rectangular prisms. In addition the cube is pushed downwards to exert some pressure on the underlying cubes. A coulomb friction contact property will define the contact relationship between the top cube base and the underlying prisms top surfaces.
Specific issues considered in this example are:
1Definition of contact data
2Definition of different contact models
3Usage of geometry sets for easy assignment of properties
Image of the problem to be solved
Simulation Cases
Case 3 Case with elastic contact
Case 4 Case with penetration dependent stiffness
