Finite friction still does not work Creo 7

@hhiller @jchelle @aoualim Could you please help with this?

Hi,

This works for me in CREO8.

Maybe the issue is one of load timing.

First the preload needs to be applied, then when the preload is at its full value, the 0.1N sliding load is applied.

When I use the default "Time Dependence" of RAMP the analysis will not successfully run.

Here is a more correct time dependence.

Preload (1MPa)                  Pull  (0.1N)

Time    Value                      Time   Value

0          0                             0         0

0.5       1                             0.5      0

1          1                             1         1

Results Creo7

I also ran with the pull at 500N instead of 0.1N.  Although there was some movement, complete sliding was reported at 400N but not at 300N. (the analysis of course failed at 400N because it just displaces to infinity.)

hopefully this helps.
