What is the difference in outcome when we use "node to surface" contact instead of "surface to surface" contact in ABAQUS?

03 March 2015 1 3K Report

Th contact between two surfaces can be modeled as "surface to surface" or "node to surface"in ABAQUS. What is the difference in results when we use these two contacts in ABAQUS standard.

Anargyros A. Karakalas

Hello Mehdi,

below I have shared a link about the contact formulation in Abaqus from its online manual (version 6.13):

Sorry for not responding directly to your question, but i think the above reference can be more helpful to you because you are going to focus on exactly what you would like to know.

How can I simulate the contact between concrete and CFRP in ABAQUS?

I am using the "cohesive contact" and "damage" in order to simulate the contact between concrete and CFRP. I would like to know more about the cohesive and damage parameters and their value.
