Is there any possibility in Franc2D to use the contact to other structure elements as boundary?

06 June 2015 0 7K Report

In my task, I have to analyze the crack propagation in a screw with contact to a screw nut. I didn't find a function in Franc2D that deals with contact elements or contact conditions.

Does anybody know a solution for this purpose?
