Hello,
I have set a Nonlinear quasi static analysis (type NLSTAT) with two consequent load steps (using CNTNLSUB option).
In my model two parts are gradually getting in contact (something similar as roller - plane contact), where also friction is taken into account.
In the first step a radial force is pushing the roller towards the plane and in the second step additional lateral force is applied. Everything works fine, the results seem meaningful.
Now I would like to set a first load step with contact type SLIDE and the second (continuous) load step with friction in contact.
Is this possible in Optistruct?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Matej
