hi,
I am modelling a suture placed in muscle as the muscle as contracting. I have 2 issues:
(i) there appears to be penetration of muscle into the suture despite use of auto penalty, update penalty, non-symmetric stiffness, increased penalty factor, and augmentation. the less rigid material (muscle) is also set as the primary surface.
(ii) I have set a boundary condition to constrain the suture not to rotate in xyz but it appears to be rotating?
the model runs with error termination. any kind help would be very much appreciated. thank you.
