Mortar Contact Fails to end.

disladisla
HI ,

Could someone help me to find out why I can't manage to complete a set up with Mortar contact inside Mecway?.
I have the inp example file for this kind of contact which runs properly in the monitor. It generates the frd which I can later load and see into MECWAY.
But when I translate the inp to a liml file with the same custom cards it ends without any explanation. Is that a Mecway limitation when reading or writing to the frd?
Maybe the Mortar routines were excluded from the Mecway’s ccx version of the executable?

This kind of contact seems to provide good results and it’s able to manage real hard contact. I was interested in giving it a try.
I post my files below in case I need to update

Thank you very much

    Don't know why but the problem solves if it is scaled by 1000.¿?¿

    Hi Victor,

    Once scaled (with all node dimensions bigger than 1) I have modeled MORTAR with pefect HARD. The agreement is so perfect that everithing black :D bloack
    Clearance zero.
    Mortar (ccx) has some issues when it deals with small numbers. Seems like it cann't manage the mecway format like 0.01 number. Milimiters scale expresed in meters.

    Cool. Seems like a CCX bug? Lengths of 0.0001 are pretty small for usual units (mm, in) but it should be able to tolerate that.

    It seems to fail much way sooner. Elements sizes below approx. 3mm (0.003)when the inp is expressed in meters.
    I will post in ccx forum before github to confirm.
