Hallo,

I have been trying to simulate Wear between 2 contact surfaces using Ansys 14.5, I know that this feature is available in Ansys 15.0 using Archard Wear Model. Could anyone give me an Idea how to simulate the Wear process using Ansys. Or is it possible?

Thanks a ton.
Vishnu.

>>Contact Surface Wear
Ansys 14.5 online documentation:
Mechanical APDL Material Reference - 3.17. Contact Surface Wear
Mechanical APDL Contact Technology Guide - Chapter 13: Contact Surface Wear
Mechanical APDL Theory Reference - 13.174. CONTA174 - 3-D 8-Node Surface-to-Surface Contact

Hallo Mr.Rainer,

Thank you very much for the reply. The details you mentioned are from Ansys 15.0 documentation.

These are not available in Ansys 14.5. ( Thers is no chapter 13: Contact Surface Wear in Ansys14.5)

However i tried to use those commands TB,WEAR,1,,,ARCD in Ansys 14.5.7, but it is not recognising such commands. I am wondering how did they simulate Contact Surface Wear in Ansys before.

Regards,
Vishnu

Sorry, ANSYS support portal was cheating with me.
I had set a search filter for version 14.5.
In a second approach I see that you are right.

ANSYS 15 Help -> Release Notes -> 2.4.2 Modified Commands
TB -- ... A new WEAR label is available for modeling contact surface wear...
