Method detail#

Contact.set_mortar()#

Set the mortar contact.

A mort contact is a segment-to-segment, penalty-based contact.

Contact.set_tiebreak()#

Set the contact allow for failure.

A tieback is a special case of this. After failure, the contact usually becomes a normal one-way, two-way, or single surface version.

Contact.set_friction_coefficient(static=0, dynamic=0)#

Set the coefficient of friction.

Parameters:

staticfloat, optional: Static coefficient of friction. The default is 0.
dynamicfloat, optional: Dynamic coefficient of friction. The default is 0.

Contact.set_active_time(birth_time=0, death_time=1e+20)#

Set the birth and death time to active and deactivate the contact.
