Interface detached in the output

Hi all, I am trying to simulate the curling of pavement subjected to temperature differentials at the top and bottom. In the contact surface of the concrete and base course, I defined interfaces and put...
Interface Total normal stresses

Hi, I’m a bit confused by the diagram of the total normal stresses at the interfaces. I’m trying to find the lateral force at the base of the lining showing below: The value to the left, -200.2 kN...
How to simulate a prescribed surface displacement by using a rigid body and interface

Hello everyone, I wondered what contact condition should we used between a rigid body and soil, so pushing the rigid body can have the effect of adding a prescribed surface displacement on the soil?...
