ABAQUS - Contact between a 2D axisymmetric deformable body with an analytical rigid surface
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how the Interaction Module (surface-to-surface contact) in ABAQUS works. I want to apply a compression force on a 2D axisymmetric
deformable body via an analytical rigid surface(2D and axisymmetric also) - basic stuff. When I launch my simulations,
I get the good strains and stresses at the surface of the body which is in contact with the analytical rigid. Moreover, the reaction
forces and displacement of the analytical surface are adequate.
However, when I look at the reaction forces of the nodes at the surface of the body, they are null. Obviously this is false
since I should obtain the same results (opposite direction) as the reaction forces of the analytical rigid surface. Even more strange
is that I obtain the correct displacements at those node.
I have attached my input file - perhaps the error is in the definition of the output results?
I would be glad is someone could help me on this small detail.
Thanks in advance!

upsetting
My conjecture is that this is correct. You have stresses in the elements.
Study the manual examples on "upsetting"
