In the previous nonlinear leaf spring tutorial (part 2), I have mentioned that there are ways to optimize the E_N penetration contact coefficient. This is a procedure which is usually done recursively by choosing a coefficient, checking the penetration and then increasing the value until a good solution is obtained. In Code_Aster, there is a […]
[Salome Meca Tutorial] Leaf Spring Nonlinear Material and Contact FEA Simulation – Part 2
In this Salome Meca Tutorial, we will go through one of the most complex simulation on this channel, a leaf spring simulation with 3 distinct types of nonlinearity: Nonlinear Material, Large displacements and Nonlinear contact ! I chose to divide this tutorial in 2 parts because it is a very complex simulation and there are […]

In this Salome Meca Tutorial, we will go through one of the most complex simulation on this channel, a leaf spring simulation with 3 types of nonlinearity!
[Salome Meca Tutorial] How to simulate a contact solid-plate
In a previous post a few days ago, I was showing t you how to simulate a glued contact between 2 solids. I realised that there were few nuances that I didn’t describe in that video when you needed to make a contact between a solid and a plate so I made another video to […]
[Salome Meca Tutorial] How to define a glued contact between parts
I am back for a new video about Salome Meca and Code_aster… this time about glued contact! If you want to perform an FEA simulation or a mechanical system, it only seems natural to have several parts in your analysis interacting together… Even if for test cases, you can use a simple plate model, real […]
