*SURFACE INTERACTION
18.49
*SURFACE INTERACTION:
Define surface interaction properties.
This option is used to create a surface interaction property definition. The surface interaction properties will
govern any contact interactions that reference this surface interaction.
Products:
ABAQUS/Standard
ABAQUS/Explicit
Type:
Model data in ABAQUS/Standard; Model or history data in ABAQUS/Explicit

Required parameter:
NAME
Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to this surface interaction property.
Use this label on the INTERACTION parameter of the *CONTACT PAIR option (for an
ABAQUS/Standard contact analysis or an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis using the contact pair
algorithm) or on the data line of the *CONTACT PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT option (for an
ABAQUS/Explicit analysis using the general contact algorithm) to assign this surface interaction
property to a contact interaction.
Optional parameters:
PAD THICKNESS
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Explicit analyses using the contact pair algorithm.
