Problem description

Adaptive meshing

A single adaptive mesh domain that incorporates the entire blank is used. The symmetry boundary conditions are defined as Lagrangian boundary regions (the default), and contact surfaces are defined as sliding boundary regions (the default). Nondefault values for the FREQUENCY and MESH SWEEPS parameters on the *ADAPTIVE MESH option are used for some materials to account for the large amount of localized deformation that occurs immediately under the punch. These values are chosen to solve the problem economically yet retain a good mesh throughout the simulation.
