Hi,
I am using INTER/TYPE7 for contact definition of a piston sliding inside a cylinder. The contact parameters are:
Istf=4, Igap=1, FRIC=0.1, gapmin=0.01, INACTI=6, Ifric=0, Iform = 2.
Please find attached the Resultant normal force and the Resultant Tangential force plot (created by TH/INTER output block). As it can be observed from the plot, the peak normal force is ~12 KN for which the expected tangential force should be 1.2 KN (for mu=0.1). However, the observed resultant tangential force peak is upto ~3 KN.
Please resolve this problem. Thanks a ton.
Regards,
Sai Phanindra
