How can I check initial interface stiffness?

Hi,

 

I want to check interface stiffness in TYPE7.

 

Solver compute interface stiffness automatically every time step.

 

How can I check it?

 

Thanks

    Hi

    The updated stiffness for each node to surface segment is not currently reported as the analysis run.

    In the other hand, The initial stiffness can be calculated based on the element formulation and material associated.

    Please refer to the /INTER/TYPE7 documentation.

     

    Regards
