PERMAS-CAX Extended Contact Analysis

This module has been designed for ambitious slip-stick problems and to provide new contact solution algorithms for large contact models (more than 10,000 contact node pairs) in order to essentially accelerate contact analysis runs again (by a factor of 3 and beyond), e.g. performance breakthrough. The module is used as an add-on to module PERMAS-CA.
The functionality comprises the following features:

  • High performance iterative solution algorithms to accelerate standard contact analysis with normal and frictional contact, see, engine analysis.
  • An additional very stable iteration method for critical slip-stick problems (when all contacts get into sliding state, see figure).

Gasket elements are handled as integral part of the contact iteration through contact controlled nonlinear gasket analysis (CCNG analysis) by default. This leads to a remarkable reduction of run time compared to the classical solution method with nonlinear material behaviour. In particular, this run time reduction will be much higher, when the nonlinear features are contact and gasket elements only. The run time reduction is still significant, if additional nonlinearities are applied.

For sliding friction between dynamically moving parts a velocity field can be prescribed to take it into account in a quasi-static contact analysis (see Brake Squeal Analysis).
