Dear All,
I am running a solid-solid contact case and using the updated Lagrangian formulation (“nonLinearGeometryUpdatedLagrangian”) as the “solidModel”. The problem I am facing is related to the use of function objects to calculate forces. I am using solids4Foam with foam-extend-4.1. I am using a function object of type "solidForcesDisplacements" to analyse the time evolution of the force in one patch. The problem is that every time I restart the case, the force starts from a small value and starts increasing again. On the other side, if I run the simulation continuously (without restarting), the force continuously increases with time. I attached at the end of this message, the result (Force x time) of a case where I restarted the simulation 4 times to demonstrate the problem. If you have any suggestion on how to overcome this problem, please, let me know. Thank you so much for your attention! Kind regards, Conrado Fzvstime.jpg |

I talked to Philip and explained the issue to him. He pushed a very detailed commit with changes to ensure the consistent restarting for cases using nonlinear solid models. You can find the discussion on this link: https://bitbucket.org/philip_cardiff...object-may-not and the commit with the changes on this link https://bitbucket.org/philip_cardiff...mmits/4670d20b And you can download the solids4Foam version with all those changes already added from the development branch on this link https://bitbucket.org/philip_cardiff...c/development/ I performed some tests and, for now, everything is going fine. Kind regards, Conrado |
