How to model relative friction in ansys (FEM software)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on modeling relative friction in ANSYS, specifically when using contact elements between different materials. Users encounter challenges in applying a relative friction coefficient due to the software's requirement to assign friction coefficients individually to each material. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on how to effectively implement relative friction in ANSYS simulations, emphasizing the importance of understanding the friction coefficient settings within the software.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ANSYS contact elements
  • Knowledge of friction coefficients in material science
  • Familiarity with simulation settings in ANSYS
  • Basic principles of finite element analysis (FEA)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to configure contact elements in ANSYS for accurate friction modeling
  • Learn about the differences between static and dynamic friction coefficients in ANSYS
  • Explore the ANSYS documentation on material properties and friction settings
  • Investigate case studies involving relative friction in ANSYS simulations
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, simulation analysts, and anyone involved in finite element modeling who needs to accurately represent friction between materials 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
