Contact Definition
A group of elements or geometric entities may contact. Types of contact bodies: Deformable: a group of elements Rigid: a group of geometric entities

Analytical contact definition to smooth contact surface Rigid contact bodies are specified by displacement or force applied to them

Rigid Body BC and Load: (a) Prescribe translational and rotation velocity and position; (b) Prescribe force through extra nodes

Contact Tables Use of the Contact Table is to describe the specific interaction between contact pairs (i.e. contact checking is defined by contact interfaces). If no contact table is specified, each contact body is assumed to be able to touch the other including self-contact. An additional benefit can be in reducing the solution cost by specifying only those bodies that can contact. Contact tables must be turned on for the loadcase or loadstep during which it is active 4 1 3 2

Glue Option In Contact Table: Complex body can be split up into part which can be meshed easy: (1)Define each part as a contact body; (2)Invoke the glue option in contact table to make a physical body.

Interference Fit
A positive value is interference closure. A negative value is a gap . Alternatively, include the interference into the geometry and let Marc automatically return the surfaces.

gap

overlap

Important: requires the distance tolerance to be larger than the interference.

Contact Areas and Exclude Segments

in contact definition in both Mentat and Patran

Exclude edges (faces) that are on contact bodies that do not enter contact. Save contact checking. Define nodes that are on contact bodies that potentially enter contact. Save contact checking.

Conventional Coulomb Friction Model

A reasonable choice for constant C (relative sliding threshold) is 1 to 10 percent of the actual sliding velocity.
C very small causes large friction and numerical convergence. C very large may cause less friction than physically expected.

All friction models in Marc can be based on either nodal force or nodal stress

Bilinear Coulomb Friction Model


This model is the newest, and is recommended.

Displacement slip threshold: Friction force tolerance is for convergence. Do not change, in general.

Separation Control
Setting the separation force:
Can be done in the contact table. OR jobs/mechanical/contact control/advanced contact control (Mentat); analysis/job parameters/contact parameters/separation (Patran)

The default critical separation force/stress is given by: 10% of the maximum reaction force. 10% of the maximum contact body normal stress.

MSC.Software Confidential

Additional Separation Parameters for Separation analysis/job parameters/contact Chattering:


parameters/separation

Suppressed: A node which comes into contact may not separate again in the same increment. In general, Not Recommended. By default, chattering is allowed.

Increment:
Next: A node which should separate can be forced not to separate in the current increment but at the beginning of the next increment. In general, Not Recommended. By default, it separates in the current increment.

Contact Definition in Marc Input Deck

Contact Table

MSC.Software Confidential

Contact works with nearly 100% elements in Marc, i.e. quad, hex, tet, shell, beam Contact works with every material models in Marc, i.e. elastic, isotropic, anisotropic, orthotropic, plasticity, creep, elastomer, fracture mechanics Contact works with coupled thermalmechanical analysis. Contact works with remesh (auto-remesh). Post-processing is the same as models without contact. Where to find contact topics: Marc Documentations: Vol A: Theory Manual (Chapter 8 for Contact) Vol B: Element Library Vol C: Input Deck, including contact related cards in input deck

Few Tips for Running Marc Contact Jobs (1) Set contact parameters as default at the initial try, except in the case that you know the physical problem. For example, set distance tolerance, bias factor, separation force, etc., as default. (2) If many contact bodies in a model, try to run the model with fewer contact bodies as the initial try. This gives insight. (3) In general, increasing the separation force stabilize the structure and makes the contact to be easier to converge. (4) Glue option stabilizes the structure and makes contact easier to converge. But, whether it can be used depends on the physical condition (5) Use contact table to define contact pairs. If you know the two bodies do not touch, do not define them contact in the contact table. (6) Use the card print,5 in the input deck to debug contact.
