NON Linear Chain Link- Contact under tension

Altair Forum User

I am trying to simulate a chain link as shown below in the image.

Load - Impossed Velocity

Property Card:- P14_Solid

Mesh :- Tetra Mesh

Contact Type :- Type 7

Material:- Elasoplastic -M2_JOHNS_ZERIL

After I did submit the file to solver, it gave me errors as shown in image attached.

Kindly let me know the cause of error and how to fix it., or suggest me different methodology is applicable.

Your valuable reply is appreciated.

Hi paramveer_singh,

I made few changes and I will send you the modified model shortly.

Looks like you haven't referred the curve for IMPDISP in the model and also the component with name LINK refers to a subset which doesn't exists.
