Groups

Group entities are used to define and store interfaces and rigid walls typically used in contact analysis. Groups are shown under the Group folder within the Model browser.

Groups have a display state, on or off, which controls the display of a group in the graphics area. The display state of a group can be controlled using the icon next to the group entity in the Model browser.

Groups also have an active and export state. The active state of a group controls the display state of the group and the listing of the group in the Model browser and any of its views. If a group entity is active, then its display state is available to be turned on or off and it is listed in the Model browser and any of its views. If a group entity is inactive, then its display state is turned off permanently and it is not listed in the Model browser or any of its views. If a find operation "finds" an inactive group entity, that group entity will automatically be set to active.

The export state of a group entity controls whether or not that group is exported when the custom export option is utilized. The all export option is not affected by the export state of a group. The active and export states of group entities can be controlled using the Entity State browser.

The data names associated with groups can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.

The following panels can be used to create and edit groups:

Groups are entities for various types of interfaces. It is recommended that all contact interfaces, such as *CONTACT PAIR, *TIE, *PRE-TENSION SECTION, *SURFACE, *SURFACE INTERACTION, as *CONTACT, be defined from the Contact Manager in the Abaqus user profile. All history type interface controls, such as Contact Interference, Model Change, Change Friction, Contact Controls, Controls, and Clearance, be defined from the Step Manager in the Abaqus user profile.

The following Abaqus keywords are supported as groups in the Interface panel:

Groups can be created and edited from the Interface panel (Configurations 1-4) and Ale Setup panel (Configuration 6). An LS-DYNA entity that utilizes a *SET_ [NODE, SHELL, PART, etc.] keyword card belongs to a group, with the exception of Rigid Bodies/RBE2’s.

REVIEW allows you to efficiently visualize the entities defining master and slave. A transparency mode as well as the ability to turn on/off master and slave entities is also available. In review mode, review opts allows you to customize the graphical review of the interfaces.

Use the Interface panel to define groups with configurations of 1, 2, 3, and 4. The difference among these configurations is the type of entities contained within the group.

Config 1	Holds master and slave elements.
Config 2	Holds master elements and slave nodes.
Config 3	Holds slave elements.
Config 4	Holds slave nodes.

If the line following the keyword (No TITLE option), or the first line of the Structured card contains $HM_NAME, the name supplied is read and used as the group's name. If the string $HM_ID also exists, this is used as the group’s ID. NAME is 16 characters, starting in Column 9. ID field is 8 characters, starting in Column 35.
