Hi, I have an assembly with multiple components connected via frictional contacts, After solving In workbench mechanical we generally get Contact Pressure and Frictional stress in the result. I understand these both relate to Contact Normal Force and Contact Traction force. However Insted of Pressure I want to evaluate the Contact Normal Force. Upon exploring I didn't find any method to do so. By some workaround how can it be calculated?
Hi Deepak,Thanks for sharing the link to the discussion about evaluating Contact forces using DPF in ANSYS. This seems really helpful. I too was expecting integrating pressure with elemental area at the contact surface should help but didn't find any straightforward means to do the same in Mechanical.
I haven't used DPF features in ANSYS earlier which seems really interesting and I would like to learn more about it. Can you please share some resources from where I can start to learn more on using DPF? PS. I have intermediate experience in Python.
