Examples for Linear Gaps modelling.

ron.kunz
Dear all,
I would like to study some examples with linear gap elements. We don`t have SOL400 available and to have a work around for i.e. objects touching or near eachother.
Could you provide wtih some examples or give location of study material? Thanks.

    Not sure where you got that info about "Contact Table made for SOL400".
    Contact can be used in several Nastran sequences. Touching contact is available in 101 and 400, and glued contact can be used in 101, 103, 105, 107-112, 200 and 400. Nastran uses the same BDF entries to define contact for all sequences.
     
    My previous post explained the difference between contact in 101 and 400 -- it's all about small vs large deformation assumptions.
     
    Also, the contact table is an older way to define contact (inherited from Marc and SOL600). Contact Pairs were added to Nastran and Patran 2013, and many cases are an easier way to define contact (especially when you have a lot of contact bodies).
    Given the number of contact questions you have, I highly recommend this Nastran course: NAS133: Contact Analysis using MSC Nastran and Patran (with Contact Tables or Contact Pairs). It is available as a 16 hour online course.
