Re: Fem constraint contact
Thanks for the clarification, I think I will install the 0.17 beta version for the test with FEM analysis
Re: Fem constraint contact
Since you are on Windows, no installation is needed, just unpack the downloaded file and run the FreeCAD.exe.JV_3D wrote:Thanks for the clarification, I think I will install the 0.17 beta version for the test with FEM analysis
Re: Fem constraint contact
Hi everyone. I tried to run that example but i've a error message. someone know what happend?. I have FreeCAD 0.17 Rev 11714 (Git) - Ubuntu 16.04. I can run others fems methods Ok, but I can not make it work with Contact method. Regards.makkemal wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2016 4:10 pm @vejmarie

Re: Fem constraint contact
reworked example
Changes:
- pressure wasn't able to deflect as much as needed to contact sphere
- added some mesh refinements at contact area
- restrict contact area
- increased contact stiffness to see any stress
- added some friction (ccx loves friction)
- reworked model (boolean fragments and compound filter)
- reworked sphere's fix (was a little bit weird)
File (fem results stripped because of file size):

Re: Fem constraint contact
wow cool ...
in the regard of pressure and sphere fix, the idea was as follows (AFAIR), the sphere moves up and the pressure acted like a stiffness for the cantilever
but it does not matter eventually ...

Re: Fem constraint contact
Hello everyone I am presenting some issues with the contact constrain
1) I downloaded one of last the example in this thread 'contact-example-udated2.fcstd' posted by user bernd, but I am finding some issues when recreating the example (starting new Analysis with same solid/parameters). After simulating I got different results (9 different)
Why is this different results means? I suppose the last one is the definitive, so I should omit the other ones??
2) I am using other example but it does not generate any results, CalculiX show the following error, I reduce the contact stiffness but nothing seem to happen, I also try with 0.1 for friction factor instead of 0 as UR_ suggested, but nothing
how should I continue? Both materials are steel.
divergence allowed: residual force too large
divergence; the increment size is decreased to 9.765625e-04
the increment is reattempted
reducing the constant stiffnesses by a factor of 100
*ERROR: too many cutbacks
best solution and residuals are in the frd file
I am attaching the file if someone as any time to check it. The version I am using is the lastest available for Windows:

Re: Fem constraint contact
what ccx version do you use?
