Abstract
The Tech Talk will present an overview of the latest contact technology in Abaqus/Standard. Contact discretization, constraint enforcement, and contact tracking will be among the topics covered. We will discuss the nonlinear solution method employed by Abaqus/Standard, and the session will end with a few recommendations on modeling approaches that minimize the occurrence of convergence issues.
Highlights:
- Recommendations for defining contact
- Overview of nonlinear solution method
- Tips for avoiding and resolving convergence problems
