I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having regarding the Friction node in Structural Mechanics.
I have a gold plate set on top of another. The top plate has an edge force applied to it. Enough force is set for the plate can be deflected by 100nm in the y direction (based on the orientation of the geometry). When my friction node values are set to default, with a mu value equal to 0, my simulation gives me that ~100nm deflection.
The problem I am having is that once the static friction coefficient value is set to anything that is not 0, as little as 1e-10, the change in the deflection is much greater than to be expecter. The deflection increases by at least a factor of 10.
Another issue occurs when I set the cohesion sliding resistence to any small values close to 0, the displacement values I get are ones that done math what I should have.
Thank you!
