#The slave face is the face which penetrates into the master face, and therefore experiences more deformation.
#The *CONTACT PAIR card is used for modeling contact in CalculiX. The constraint uses Face-to-Face penalty contact and the contact formulation is explained in detail at http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node112.html

Description

Creates a FEM fluid section element for aerodynamic and hydraulic networks

Use

  1. Click on or choose FEM Fluid section for 1D flow from the top menu.
  2. Select Fluid type: Liquid, Gas or Open Channel
  3. Select Section type: Pipe Manning, Pipe Inlet etc.
  4. Enter Section type parameters.
  5. Select and add edge.

Limitations

  1. The contact constraint can only be applied to two faces.

Notes
