Models (Abaqus/Standard)

General Contacthighly automated, based on


all-inclusive surface definition
simple models, rubber, solid propellant,
elastomer
Contact Pairsexplicit pair surfaces (like ANSYS
APDL)
metal, clay, ice at low strain

Contact Elements

Surfaces (Abaqus/Standard)

Element-basedassociate surface area w/ node,


calculated contact stress
Single-sidedtest for contact in direction of
normal
Double-sidedmore general (more expensive)
Edge-basedperimeter edges of model (shells)
Node-basedsimilar to edge-based but using
nodes
Analyticalmobile but perfectly rigid
