Components Written by Ansys LS-DYNA for Contact Segments

Components written by Ansys LS-DYNA for contact segments

Contact segment "stress" values written by Ansys LS-DYNA at segments:

CN_CONTACT_NORMAL

CT_CONTACT_TANGENTIAL

CX_CONTACT_X

CY_CONTACT_Y

Stress normal to surface;

Resultant stress in plane of surface;

In-plane local X stress;

In-plane local Y stress;

Contact forces written by Ansys LS-DYNA at nodes, averaged by D3PLOT over segments:

XG_GLOBAL_X_FORCE

YG_GLOBAL_Y_FORCE

ZG_GLOBAL_Z_FORCE

XL_LOCAL_X_FORCE

YL_LOCAL_Y_FORCE

ZL_LOCAL_Z_FORCE

FM_FORCE_MAGNITUDE

Local forces are transformed to reflect the orientation of a segment. But since the nodal forces on which they are based also have contributions from adjacent segments they should be regarded as approximate.

Versions of Ansys LS-DYNA may also write:

CG_CONTACT_GAP

CE_ENERGY_DENSITY

CPP_PEAK_PRESSURE
CPT_TIME_TO_PEAK_PRE

Contact gap at nodes N1 to N4 (possibly from LS970 onwards)
