Abaqus CAE. 6,739 likes · 24 talking about this. Abaqus is used in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial products industries. The product is popular with academic and research institutions due to the For example, if a contact pair is defined for surface_1 and surface_2 and “automatic” general contact is defined for the entire model, Abaqus/Explicit would generate a contact exclusion for general contact between surface_1 and surface_2, so that interactions between these surfaces would be modeled only with the contact pair algorithm. These automatically generated contact exclusions are in effect only during the steps in which the contact pair algorithm or surface-based tie constraint ...
"CONTACT cannot be defined on 2D element facets. If the model contains 2D or axisymmetric elements then *CONTACT INCLUSIONS, ALL EXTERIOR cannot be specified, and the first surface name on each...
