Archards Wear in ANSYS Mechanical

  Hi,
  
  I'm attempting to simulate wear using the Archard's wear model built into ANSYS. I have activated the wear model through inserting an APDL command into the contact between my two components as shown:
  
  K=0.000117
  H=480 !hardness, MPa
  m=1 !exponent on contact pressure
  n=0 !exponent on relative pressure velocity
  !
  
  TB,WEAR,cid,,,ARCD
  TBFIELD,TIME,0
  TBDATA,1,0,H,n,m
  TBFIELD,TIME,2
  TBDATA,1,0,H,n,m
  TBFIELD,TIME,2.01
  TBDATA,1,K,H,n,m
  TBFIELD,TIME,20
  
  My problem is that if I run the model with and without this command, the deformation plotted stays the same. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?
  
  Thanks.

  Hi jakehaley9 ,
  I am having a similar problem and cannot seem to get the wear volume or results.
  If you have solved this problem, could you help me out too? I'd really really appreciate it
  ?
  
  Thanks a bunch !!

  Hi averageMechGirl98 ,
  I am a student new to wear analysis, can you share me a case of wear analysis using APDL?

  Thank u so much!!!
  谢谢！！！
