Sid_22073

Hi,

Can someboy explain about contacts inthe results and how I can interpret these

1. Contact status : FROZEN , CLOSEDSLIP, OPEN

2. Contact Traction / Normal (Pressure)

3. How can I see the contact stresses so I can compare with the yield stress limit

FREEZE/FROZEN means the contact area is bonded/tied, with no relative movement.

CLOSEDSLIP means the contact has occured but there is slipage in this particular region

OPEN means no contact was created(closed).

 

Stress you will evaluate from the regular stress result.
