Topics Covered
• Creating deformable contact boundary conditions of two bodies
• Controlling solutions for nonlinear geometric effects
• Reviewing the results and comparing to a theoretical value
• Using local adaptive meshing
3
• In this example problem, a steel cylinder with a radius of 5” is pressed against a 2” deep aluminum base. The problem is linear except the contact condition at the base which is modeled using the contact pair approach.
• We will use Patran to complete the problem description from a given 2D meshed model and analyze it by using Marc.

Goal
• In this example, we will determine the maximum compressive stresses in a cylinder and a flat plate being compressed against each other.
• The results from Marc will be compared to a theoretical value.
• We will also demonstrate how the results can be improved through the use of adaptive meshing.

Maximum compressive stress
Use of adaptive meshing, which refines meshes in the contact zone, can improve the accuracy of the results without having to refine meshes of the entire model.
