the speed and accuracy of Google Search. How exactly Google search for the
particular word and give the right results in the front of the user. No doubt
Google is one of the most powerful search engines, and there is millions of

I want to simulate my indentation  results in ABAQUS for a berkovich indenter.

I am facing problems in modelling indnetre as rigid body and in defining master and slave surfaces in contact pair. Is there anty suitabale tutorial available or refrence file so that I can check where I am making mistake.

Dear friends,

 I am new to this this forum. I salute the founders, administrators and content providers of imechanica for putting up such a useful forum. I work on finite element anaylsis of large deformation and contact problems, in particular metal forming and tribology.
