ABAQUS Contact Manager - Overview
Create and review the following contacts

Contact Pair
General Contact (only explicit)
Tie
Pretension Section
Shell2Solid coupling
Methods to create new contacts
Method 1: Auto contact - Finder: Automatically finds the interfering parts
Method 2: create surfaces and interface during building contact pair
Method 3: build the contact using surfaces and interfaces predefined
in Surface or Surface interaction tab
Page 5
ABAQUS Contact Manager Contact Pair
Method 1
Helps you define the *CONTACT PAIR and
*TIE keywords and also the*SURFACE cards.
Based on a proximity distance.
The interactions and surfaces are placed into
a temporary Auto Contact Browser, where you
can review and adjust the pairs
Page 6
Method 2
Create a new contact
If needed: create new surfaces
Assign surface(s) as master or slave
Define a new surface interaction or choose
an existing one
Page 7
Method 3
Create and review surfaces from Surfaces tab first
Define a new interaction
Finally combine surfaces and interaction to a
*CONTACT PAIR
Page 8
ABAQUS Contact Manager *SURFACE
Define surface by *ELSET id and face identifier

*ELSET, ELSET=MTubeContSet
1, 2, 3
*SURFACE, NAME = Ma_Moving, TYPE = ELEMENT
MTubeContSet, SNEG
Select ELSET and specify identifier. Use Element set option in Define tab
HM writes ELSET name and identifier to INP file
If None selected for Face, no identifier written to INP file. ABAQUS will use all
faces for all elements in the ELSET.
Page 9
Define surface by *ELEMENT id and face identifier

*SURFACE, NAME = new_surface, TYPE = ELEMENT
2204, SPOS
2203, SPOS
Element face identifiers
Solids - S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6
Shells and gaskets - SPOS, SNEG Excluding the Element set option, use any option in
the Define tab
Adjust normals (shells) and optional parameters
Page 10
No need to know relation of keywords to HM entities
*CONTACT PAIR
*PRE-TENSION SECTION
*TIE
all are HM groups (interfaces panel)
*SURFACE, TYPE = ELEMENT
*SURFACE, TYPE = NODE
*SURFACE INTERACTION
*FRICTION all are HM property collectors
*SURFACE BEHAVIOR

Composites - Workflow
1. Create/import your FE model

2. Assign orientation to properties within composites panel
3. Import/Create/Realize plies
4. Create interface- and sublamintes if necessary
5. Realize laminates/interface laminates
Review plies and laminates
6. Export zone based model
Page 19
Review and Editing of Plydata
Use Hypermesh functionality

for reviewing
Stacking
Directions
Thicknesses
Ply data

Exporting into Solver Specific Zone models
Altair solvers Optistruct / Radioss supports Ply based models

Abaqus and other solvers support Zone Based models
The following step Laminate Realize shall convert Ply based model to
Zone base model
This will create *SHELLSECTION_COMPOSITE cards for Abaqus.

Systems collector
Systems are organized in systems

collectors
Create systems collectors from panel or
model browser
Create one system per system collector
System Collectors do not require a card
image
Page 23
Types of System assignments
Reference systems:
Used to define the entities. For example, nodes created or assigned to a
reference system are defined with respect to their reference system.
This option is used to define nodes by accepting coordinates relative to a specified
local rectangular coordinate system and generating the nodal coordinates in the
global coordinate system.
*SYSTEM followed by nodes defined will appear in the input file
Analysis/Displacement systems:
This option is used to specify a local coordinate system for displacement and
rotation degrees of freedom at a node.
*TRANSFORM followed by *NSET will appear in the input file
Page 24
*SYSTEM and *TRANSFORM systems
Create systems from systems panel

*SYSTEM - defines node coordinates in a local coordinate system
Select the nodes and use set reference
*SYSTEM followed by nodes defined will appear in the input file
*TRANSFORM defines the directions for the degrees of freedom of nodes

Select the nodes and use set displacement
*TRANSFORM followed by *NSET will appear in the input file
Page 25
*ORIENTATION system
*ORIENTATION defines a local system for elements

*ORIENTATION, NAME=, DEFINITION=, SYSTEM=
Xa Ya Za Xb Yb Zc
locdir alpha
Creation process:
1. create systems collector with no card image
2. create HM system from systems panel
3. card edit HM system (systs) and activate ORIENTATION option
Associate *ORIENTATION to section property:
1. card edit property collector
2. specify systems collector name in ORIENTATION field

Interfacing with Abaqus CAE
no part/instance *.inp files

Interfacing with Abaqus- Parameter Adjust
Adjust Parameter: may collapse elements during calulation

*NODEOUTPUT
STRAINFREE
Delivers vector output in the .odb with the strainfree displacements
Page 29
Parse *.dat file for failed elemen
Script parses the ABAQUS .dat file

Creates sets with the corresponding elements
