Abaqus + Skin + Shell + too low stresses
Hello,
i am using Abaqus/Standard to simulate the contact of a ball with a flat. Up to this point the simulation is no problem and gives good results compared to the herzian theory. But within my bachelor thesis i have to add a coat (with layers) to the flat (Thickness: 0.004 mm) and analyse the influence of the coat material to the stresses. My idea is to create a skin on the plate and a shell composite section. Then i assign the skin to this section. In the field output i defined the section points to get the stresses over the thickness of the shell.
