- From the main menu, select either or .
Abaqus/CAE displays the contact detection dialog box. - Display the Rules tabbed page.
- Click .
Abaqus/CAE displays the Edit Rules dialog box. - To create tie constraints for all contact pairs whose surfaces lie within a particular tolerance, toggle on Use tie constraints when the separation value does not exceed and enter the tolerance in the field provided. This rule is disabled by default.
- To set the position tolerance on tie constraints equal to the surface separation reported by the contact detection tool, toggle on Set tie position tolerance to separation value when nonzero. This rule is disabled by default. For more information about position tolerances for tie constraints, see Mesh Tie Constraints.
- To set the surface adjustment setting on contact interactions equal to the surface separation reported by the contact detection tool, toggle on Adjust separated interactions by the separation value. This rule is disabled by default. For more information about surface adjustment options, see Contact Initialization for Contact Pairs in Abaqus/Standard.
-
To move any overclosed secondary nodes in a contact interaction directly onto
the main surface, toggle on Adjust interactions to remove
overclosure. The adjustment is performed during the analysis.
This rule is enabled by default. For more information about surface adjustment
options, see Contact Initialization for Contact Pairs in Abaqus/Standard.
- Click OK.
