The BeamContact3D element is a three-dimensional beam-to-node contact element which defines a frictional contact interface between a beam element and a separate body.  The master nodes are the endpoints of the beam element, and the slave node is a node from a second body.  The Lagrange multiplier node is required to enforce the contact condition.  This node should not be shared with any other element in the domain.

The BeamContact3D element is a three-dimensional beam-to-node contact element which defines a frictional contact interface between a beam element and a separate body. The retained nodes (6 DOF) are the endpoints of the beam element, and the constrained node (3 DOF) is a node from a second body. The Lagrange multiplier node (3 DOF) is required to enforce the contact condition. Each contact element should have a unique Lagrange multiplier node. The Lagrange multiplier node should not be fixed, otherwise the contact condition will not work.

NOTE:

  1. The BeamContact3D element has been written to work exclusively with the ContactMaterial3D nDMaterial object.
  2. The valid recorder queries for this element are:
    1. force - returns the contact force acting on the constrained node in vector form.
    2. frictionforce - returns the frictional force acting on the constrained node in vector form.
    3. forcescalar - returns the scalar magnitudes of the single normal and two tangential contact forces.
    4. masterforce - returns the reactions (forces only) acting on the retained nodes.
    5. mastermoment - returns the reactions (moments only) acting on the retained nodes.
    6. masterreaction - returns the full reactions (forces and moments) acting on the retained nodes.
    7. The BeamContact3D elements are set to consider frictional behavior as a default, but the frictional state of the BeamContact3D element can be changed from the input file using the setParameter command. When updating, value of 0 corresponds to the frictionless condition, and a value of 1 signifies the inclusion of friction. An example command for this update procedure is provided below
  3. The BeamContact3D element works well in static and pseudo-static analysis situations.
  4. In transient analysis, the presence of the contact constraints can effect the stability of commonly-used time integration methods in the HHT or Newmark family (e.g., Laursen, 2002). For this reason, use of alternative time-integration methods which numerically damp spurious high frequency behavior may be required. The TRBDF2 integrator is an effective method for this purpose. The Newmark integrator can also be effective with proper selection of the gamma and beta coefficients. The trapezoidal rule, i.e., Newmark with gamma = 0.5 and beta = 0.25, is particularly prone to instability related to the contact constraints and is not recommended.


EXAMPLES:

BeamContact3D element with tag 1, connectivity with nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4, beam radius of 0.25, geomTransf object with tag 1, material with tag 1, gap and force tolerances of 1.0e-10, and a contact flag set to assume initial contact.
