Class GlobalFrictionContact

Defined in Program listing for file kernel/src/simulationTools/GlobalFrictionContact.hpp

class GlobalFrictionContact : public LinearOSNS

Formalization and Resolution of a Friction-Contact Problem.

This class is devoted to the formalization and the resolution of primal friction contact problems defined by :

\[\begin{split} M velocity = q + H reaction \\ globalVelocities = H^T velocity + tildeGlobalVelocities \end{split}\]

and \( globalVelocities, reaction \) belongs to the Coulomb friction law with unilateral contact.

With:

• \( velocity \in R^{n} \) and \( reaction \in R^{n} \) the unknowns,

• \( M \in R^{n \times n } \) and \( q \in R^{n} \)

• \( globalVelocities \in R^{m} \) and \( reaction \in R^{m} \) the unknowns,

• \( tildeGlobalVelocities \in R^{m} \) is the modified local velocity ( \( e U_{N,k} \))

• \( M \in R^{n \times n } \) and \( q \in R^{n} \)

• \( H \in R^{n \times m } \)

The dimension of the problem (2D or 3D) is given by the variable contactProblemDim and the right Numerics driver will be called according to this value.

Construction:

• Constructor from data (inputs = Simulations*, id, SP::NonSmoothSolver) - The solver is optional. Main functions:

Main functions:

• formalization of the problem: computes M,q using the set of “active” Interactions from the simulation and the interactionBlock-matrices saved in the field interactionBlocks. Functions: initialize(), computeInteractionBlock(), preCompute()

• solving of the GlobalFrictionContact problem: function compute(), used to call solvers from Numerics through the frictionContact2D_driver() or frictionContact3D_driver() interface of Numerics.

• post-treatment of data: set values of y/lambda variables of the active Interaction (ie Interactions) using ouput results from the solver (velocity,reaction); function postCompute().

For details regarding the available options, see Nonsmooth problems formulations and available solvers in users’ guide.
