On Demand Tech Talk | Contact and Convergence in Abaqus/Standard


​​​​​​​

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
