Hi,

There is a possiblity in Abaqus to Limit the Deformation of the elements by larg strains. It means that if the elements are going to Penetration each other, solver does not let that and it stops the Deformation and increases the stress on the elements. Is there any similar Setting in Optistruct for that? ( linear material)
