Contact and XFEM?
Hi,
Initially, I asked this question to the Yahoo Group COMSOL
(FE package for multi physics simulation) because I thought, that there I
can find someone who is familiar with both COMSOL and Abaqus.
Unfortunately, among the experts of COMSOL I did not find an expert in
Abaqus.
COMSOL has an example 'Tube Connection' - a flange with four prestressed
bolts is subjected to tensile forces. To compute the influence of the
tensile force on the stress level in the bolt, the model includes a
