This subroutine is used to define the gap conductance across a contact pair (penalty contact only). cf *GAP CONDUCTANCE. The header and variable description is as follows:
subroutine gapcon(ak,d,flowm,temp,predef,time,ciname,slname, & msname,coords,noel,node,npred,kstep,kinc,area) ! ! user subroutine gapcon ! ! ! INPUT: ! ! d(1) separation between the surfaces ! d(2) pressure transmitted across the surfaces ! flowm not used ! temp(1) temperature at the slave node ! temp(2) temperature at the corresponding master ! position ! predef not used ! time(1) step time at the end of the increment ! time(2) total time at the end of the increment ! ciname surface interaction name ! slname not used ! msname not used ! coords(1..3) coordinates of the slave node ! noel element number of the contact spring element ! node slave node number ! npred not used ! kstep step number ! kinc increment number ! area slave area ! ! OUTPUT: ! ! ak(1) gap conductance ! ak(2..5) not used !
