It is also one of the most difficult nonlinearities to handle because the stiffness can suddenly disappear or reappear depending on whet

3、 of contact analysis, known as assembly contact, can often be performed without knowledge of advanced techniques. Assembly contact uses the “bonded“ option of ANSYS contact elements and is also called bonded contact. In this chapter, we will briefly describe how to set up and solve a bonded contact

Definitions,Bonded Contact is a special case of contact analysis where the two contacting surfaces are assumed to be “glued“ together throughout the analysis. The two contacting surfaces form a contact
5、 pair. One of the surfaces is designated as the target surface And the other surface is called the contact surface,001290 12 Dec 1999 9-5,Bonded Contact .Definitions,Advantages of bonded contact: Faster solutions since there are no contact convergence issues. Convenient for a quick analysis of assem

(Coupling and constraint equations are not recommended for nonlinear analyses.),001290 12 Dec 1999 9-6,Bonded Contact B. Typical
7、 Procedure,Seven main steps: 1. Create or import the geometry. 2. Mesh all of the contacting bodies. (Required for step 3.) 3. Create the contact pair. 4. Specify the analysis type and solution controls. 5. Apply loads and boundary conditions. 6. Save the database. 7. Solve and review results. We wi

Many settings are available, but the common ones for bonded contact are: Coefficient of friction = 0 Then under Optional Settings Contact Options tab: Initial penetration = “Exclude everything“ Contact surface behavior = “

ANSYS will create the contact and target elements, and identify the contact pair with a real constant set number. The contact pair is plotted with their element normals, which should be poin
