Abaqus Import & Contacts

Coreform Cubit
#1

Coreform Cubit 2022.4 - Fedora Core 36

I’m importing an Abaqus mesh from an external program, which has contacts defined, the data is only partially imported, this may well because of a difference in the view of this metadata.

test set and contcat.inp (81.0 KB)

If we look inside the sidesets, the triangles/nodes are not added appropriately, but the contacts are detected. Is my expectation wrong here?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

I need to dig into what is going on here. This looks like a bug to me. None of your ELSETS or SURFACES are processed correctly. It will take some time to figure out what is going on

Thanks,
Karl
