Hi, everyone.
For a part of my PhD I am trying to model spherical nanoindentation experiment on hydrogel.
Using FEBio, I created a Mooney-Rivlin based poro-elastic box to represent hydrogel and spherical rigid body to represent the indenter.
Using sliding interface contact, I need to declare a slave and a master surfaces. In the manual it said "usually advisable to select the more finely meshed surface as a slave", but is it really important to do so?
Moreover, would it be better to use the "two way algorithm" if I cannot figure which surface should be a slave or a master?
Many thanks,
Joanne
