Hello Shivam,

There some ways to get read off this problem.

First and best solution is change the geometry and create geometry without overlap.

Second solution you can check the mesh intersection with using Query-Mesh gaps/intersections. Afterward you can create "contact initializations" and you can define a value in "ignore initial openings greater than". Then, you should assing this created "contact initialization" at the "Initialization assingments" section under the "Interaction Properties" Section. When you are assigning the contact initialization, click on the selection in the "Select Pairs and Initialization" list windows then click the arrows to carry the "Pairs and Initialization" to right side (its for activation). After all these steps you are ready!

However, be careful about your results. I dont suggest the second solution.

Best regards...

Dear Shivam,

none of the tools in Abaqus are designed to fix gross modelling/meshing errors, and the recommendation is to solve the problem in your CAD or the part module.

If you ignore the advice, you can try to set contact adjustments, but depending on the amount of overclosure and mesh size, etc. it could cause you more problems. Also the clearance parameter or directly manipulating the interaction property can get around the problem, but the best fix is fixing the geometry.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

David

I second David's answer. This type of mesh intersection is quite common for sharp edged geometries, so you can either refine the mesh in that zone or curve it a bit.
