Behavior of Contact (In ANSYS)

In ANSYS, the contact is generated by pair. For the point-


surface contact, the “point” is contact and the “surface” is target.
For surface-surface contact, both contact and target are surfaces
and they have to be specified which surface is contact
and which is target. No matter it’s point-surface contact or
surface-surface contact, as soon as they are identified, they are then
one pair.One can not exist without the other.

For the surface-surface contact, it is the first step to specify which is


contact surface and which is target surface. Normally, convex
surface is chosen as contact and concave as target. Also when
the size of one body in contact compared to another one is very small
and then the large surface is chosen as target. There are several
kinds of contact used in ANSYS: frictional, frictionless, rough,
bonded, no separation and so on. Contact surface has different types
of behavior according to different characteristics of contact.

Figure. 1

Figure. 2

Frictional contact: The contact body can slide on the target


surface in the tangential direction shown in Fig.1 (a) and
also can translate in the normal direction shown in Fig.2 (b).
This behavior can simulate the contact opens and closes.

Rough contact: As shown in Fig.2 the friction coefficient


tends to be infinite and the body A can not move in the
tangential direction because nodes in contact are glued on the target
surface in tangential direction.

No separation contact: Once the contact is detected, then the target


and contact surface are tied up for the rest of the analysis. Slide is
possible, but the nodes in contact are bonded to the target surface in
normal
Privacy direction.
