NORMAL: Specify a particular normal direction.
This option is used to define alternative nodal normals for elements. In an ABAQUS/Standard analysis it can
also be used to define alternative normals for contact surfaces.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: Model data
Level: Part, Part instance, Assembly
Reference:
“Normal definitions at nodes,” Section 2.1.4 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual
Optional parameter:
TYPE
Set TYPE=ELEMENT (default) to allow the alternative norm al definition of elements.
Set TYPE=CONTACT SURFACE toallow thealternativenorm al definition ofcontact surfaces
in an ABAQUS/Standard analysis.
Data lines to define normals for elements (TYPE=ELEMENT):
First line:
1. Element number or element set label.
2. Node number or node set label.
3. First component of normal in global coordinates.
4. Second com ponent of normal in global coordinates.
5. Third component of normal in global coordinate s.
Repeat this data line as often as nec essary to define the normals.
Data lines to define normals for contact surfaces (TYPE=CONTACT SURFACE):
First line:
1. Master surface nam e.
2. Node number or node set label (on master surface).
3. First component of normal in global coordinates.
4. Second com ponent of normal in global coordinates.
5. Third component of normal in global coordinate s.
Repeat this data line as often as nec essary to define the normals.
