Element property definition

You must define the elements cross-sectional area (for link elements) or out-of-plane width (for general elements), initial gap, and initial void.

You can specify the thickness direction as part of the gasket section definition or by specifying a normal direction at the nodes; you can specify the element thickness as part of the gasket section definition. Otherwise, Abaqus/Standard will calculate the thickness direction. For link elements the thickness direction is the direction from the first to the second node and the thickness is the distance between the nodes. For general elements the thickness direction is based on the midsurface of the element and the thicknesses at the integration points are based on the nodal positions. See “Defining the gasket elements initial geometry,” Section 32.6.4, for more details.

Element property definition

You must define the elements initial gap and initial void, as well as the cross-sectional area (for link elements) or width (for line elements).

You can specify the thickness direction as part of the gasket section definition or by specifying a normal direction at the nodes; you can specify the element thickness as part of the gasket section definition. Otherwise, Abaqus/Standard will calculate the thickness direction and the thickness. For link elements the thickness direction is the direction from the first to the second node and the thickness is the distance between the nodes. For line elements the thickness direction is the direction from the bottom node to the top node associated with the integration point and the thicknesses are the distances between these same bottom and top nodes. For area elements the thickness direction is based on the midsurface of the element and the thicknesses at the integration points are based on the nodal positions. See “Defining the gasket elements initial geometry,” Section 32.6.4, for more details.
