How to model relative friction in ansys (FEM software)

AI Thread Summary
To model relative friction in ANSYS, users need to understand how to apply the friction coefficient correctly between two different materials. The software provides a "Friction Coefficient" box, but it requires specifying a coefficient for each material, which may not accurately represent the relative friction. Users have expressed confusion over how to implement relative friction since the default settings do not accommodate this directly. It is essential to ensure that the contact elements are configured properly to reflect the interaction between the surfaces. Properly addressing these settings is crucial for accurate simulations involving friction in ANSYS.

When you have friction between two surfaces, then u use the relative friction coefficient right. But how do i do that with ansys? I have put contact element between two different materials, but it doesn’t seems as I can use the relative friction in ansys. ...

This is the possibilities i seems to have if i want to set friction coefficient ..

Perhaps you missed the box named "Friction Coefficient" when you looked?!
 
Yes but above that box, it is a box that says material id, which means that i give a friction coefficient for both materials, which hardly is the same as the relative friction between two surfaces

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
