Hello,
I am working with a simulation of a thin component bonded to a thick
component in ABAQUS 6.7. Here I utilize beam (B21) elements bonded to
plane strain elements (CPE4R) using a *TIE constraint, and another
simulation that uses plane stress elements (CPS4R) bonded to plane
strain elements (CPE4R) using a *TIE constraint. In both cases the
plane strain elements represent the slave surface for the bonded
constraint.
