The StdStabilization object is used in conjunction with ContactStd in Abaqus/Standard analyses to specify contact stabilization.
The StdStabilization object is derived from the ContactStabilization object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].contactStabilizations[name]
This method creates a StdStabilization object.
mdb.models[name].StdStabilization
Required argument
A String specifying the contact stabilization repository key.
Optional arguments
None or a Float specifying the clearance distance at which the stabilization becomes zero. The default value is None.
A Float specifying the factor by which the analysis will reduce the contact stabilization coefficient per increment. The default value is 0.1.
A Float specifying the factor by which the analysis will scale the contact stabilization coefficient. The default value is 1.0.
A Float specifying the factor that scales the contact stabilization coefficient in the tangential direction. The default value is 0.0.
A String specifying the name of the Amplitude object that defines a time-dependent scale factor for contact stabilization over the step. The default value is an empty string.
A Boolean specifying whether to cancel carryover effects from contact stabilization specifications involving nondefault amplitudes that appeared in previous steps. The default value is OFF.
Return value
A StdStabilization object.
Exceptions
RangeError.
This method modifies the StdStabilization object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the StdStabilization method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError.
The StdStabilization object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the StdStabilization method.
