Hi together,

 

i try to visualize the contact forces (normal and tangential) of a type 2 interface in radioss. Is there a engine keyword to visualize the contact force as Animation, so that one can see it in hyperview ?

 

I use Interface type 2 with spotflag 20. This means, that a contact force is calculated in order to compare the result to the rupture criterium. I would like to visualize this contact force.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Greetings,

 

Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,

    Did you try with /ANIM/VECT/CONT2, which will generate animation files for tied interface forces.

    /ANIM/VECT/CONT will generate animatioon files for contact forces.

    Hi George,

    yes i tried with /Anim/VECT/CONT and CONT 2.

     

    Unfortunately if i run the Analysis, there is no result for the contact force in the result tab.

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Update: I solved it. The Problem was the wrong Setting for the ANIM Keyword.

     

    Thank you for your fast Responses George. You are doing a great Job here!
