Field

Contents

CID

Contact identification number.

No default (Integer > 0)

SID1

Set identification number for a set of elements.

No default (Integer > 0)

SID2

Set identification number for a set of elements.

No default (Integer > 0) (SID2 ≠ SID1)

CNFTYPE

Contact normal force type.

Default = POISSON

PENAL

Penalty factor.

Default = 1.0 (Real > 0.0)

COR

Coefficient of restitution.

Default = 1.0 (0.0 < Real < 1.0)

MUSTAT

Coefficient of static friction.

Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0)

MUDYN

Coefficient of dynamic friction.

Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0)

CFFTYPE

Contact friction force type.

Default = COUL (COUL, NONE, or DYNA)

COUL: Activates the Coulomb Model of Friction, where the coefficient of friction used depends on the specified Stiction Transition Velocity (STVEL) and Friction Transition Velocity (FTVEL).

DYNA: Activates the Dynamic Friction model, where only the Dynamic Friction is active.

STVEL

Stiction transition velocity. Defines the slip velocity at which the static coefficient of friction MUSTAT is applied.

Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0)

FTVEL

Friction transition velocity. Defines the slip velocity at which the dynamic coefficient of friction MUDYN is applied.

Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0)
