ContactMM Command

The ContactMM command is used to set the default contact conditions on multimaterial mode calculations:

ContactMM (lawid)

where

Notes

  1. The ContactMM command sets the contact properties for all material contact. In simulations with more than two materials, you might want different contact laws between different pairs of materials. To implement such custom contact, use the Contact material property.
  2. Frictional energy from material contact can optionally be converted into heat when running conduction calculations.
  3. The ContactMM command is only allowed for MPM analyses.
