  Hello everyone ,
  
  can anyone kindly explain to me how to use the APDL command by Archard's law for wear in Ansys workbench?. I read the guide and entered the following command string before the solution module:
  
  K=0,001
  
  H=210000000000
  
  m=1
  
  n=1
  
  TB,WEAR,1,,,ARCD
  
  TBFIELD,TIME,0
  
  TBDATA,1,K,H,m,n
  
  TBFIELD,TIME,1
  
  TBDATA,1,K,H,m,n
  
  I don't understand how to get and plot results in the contact area. Could someone help me up, please? Thanks in advance.

  I'm not sure, but I think it is simply a Deformation plot. The wear model updates the position of the nodes, causing "deformation" that represents the wear. Make a simple model and verify.

  Did you read Chapter 43 of the Technology Guide on Contact Surface Wear Simulation?
