How to get data in an rigid surface in Abaqus

yty3522269's picture

Recently,I made a model of two parts

1. a circle pad (deformed)

2.a discrete rigid line (move upwords)

the problem is I want to get the reaction force in the rigid surface,but I can not.

I must get it from the pad because I must make the rigid part more well meshed,I want to get better data.

Could you tell me how to get data in rigid part when contact occur?

Thanks a lot.

In Abaqus you should have a reference point assigned to the rigid part. You can request the RF field output for that node, and plot it in Abaqus/Viewer.

I have set a reference point,and I know what you said,but I want get data from a series of nodes on rigid part(discrete part),will that be possible or I can only get that from deformed part?Then what does the mesh on rigid part use for if we can not get data from that.Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately I believe you can only get the RF value for nodes which have a prescribed displacement. For rigid parts, this is only the reference point.

Maybe you want the contact force? What exactly are you trying to simulate?
