*PRESSURE PENETRATION
16.24 *PRESSURE PENETRATION: Specify pressure penetration loads with surface-based
contact.
This option is used to prescribe pressure penetration loading simulated with surface-based contact.
Product: ABAQUS/Standard
Type: History data
Level: Step
Reference:
•
“Pressure penetration loading,” Section 30.1.7 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual
Required parameters:
MASTER
Set this parameter equal to the name of the master surface of the contact pair used in the pressure
penetration analysis.
SLAVE
Set this parameter equal to the name of the slave surface of the contact pair used in the pressure
penetration analysis.
Optional parameters:
AMPLITUDE
Set this parameter equal to the name of the amplitude curve that defines the variation of the
fluid pressure during the step. If this parameter is omitted, the reference magnitude is applied
immediately at the beginning of the step or ramped up linearly over the step, depending on the
value assigned to the AMPLITUDE parameter on the *STEP option (see “Procedures: overview,”
Section 6.1.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual).
LOAD CASE
Set this parameter equal to the load case number. This parameter is used only in *STEADY STATE
DYNAMICS analyses (direct or modal—see “Direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis,”
Section 6.3.4 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, and “Mode-based steady-state dynamic
analysis,” Section 6.3.8 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual). It is ignored in all other
procedures. LOAD CASE=1 (default) defines the real (in-phase) part of the loading, and LOAD
CASE=2 defines the imaginary (out-of-phase) part of the loading.
