What is the best interaction for a fault plane in Abaqus?

05 May 2017 1 5K Report

Hi everyone,

I'm modeling a tunnel section with an intersecting fault in Abaqus. I would appreciate it if someone tells me what kind of interaction and interaction property is appropriate for the fault surface.

Thanks a lot.

Dear Majid, if the fault is like tow sliding surfaces, you can fixed one of the DOF surfaces to each others. This could be done in ABAQUS by "tie" or "coupling".
