I am currently traying to run Sol103 on a small component where I would like to define a tied and small sliding contact pair. Is it possible to define a small sliding contact in Nastran similar to abaqus? if yes, then where can i find the relevant documentation for it?
touching contact is not supported in SOL 103, but you could try to use cohesive glued contact and define a proper normal- /tangential contact stiffness.
Maybe this article could help:
Using Cohesive Contact in Modal Analysis to Define Normal- /Tangential Contact Stiffness
I still have a few more questions with regards to the modelling technique. Could it be possible to setup a teams meeting in the next few hours to discuss this topic in further detail?
Thanks and kind regards,
