abaqus-contact-analysis

abaqus-contact-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analyzing assemblies in Abaqus, an engineering simulation program, when two or more parts touch, slide, separate, or press against each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps analyze contact between parts such as bolts and plates, press fits, sliding assemblies, bearings, and impacts.
Why use it?
It helps turn physical contact into the correct simulation setup, including which surfaces interact and whether there is a gap, interference, friction, or bonding.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

abaqus-contact-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Abaqus Contact Analysis Workflow

This skill guides multi-body contact analysis setup. It's a workflow skill - use it when analyzing assemblies where surfaces touch, slide, or separate.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

  • "Parts touching each other"
  • "Contact between surfaces"
  • "Friction between parts"
  • "Bolt and plate contact"
  • "Press fit / interference fit"
  • "Multi-body assembly"
  • "Parts sliding on each other"
  • "Impact analysis"
  • "Bearing contact"

Route elsewhere:

  • Single-body analysis → /abaqus-static-analysis
  • Just defining contact properties → /abaqus-interaction
  • Only boundary conditions → /abaqus-bc

Prerequisites

Before contact analysis setup:

  1. Separate parts exist (at least two bodies)
  2. Parts are positioned in assembly with appropriate gap/interference
  3. Material properties defined for all parts
  4. Basic understanding of which surfaces will touch

Workflow Steps

Step 1: Identify Contact Pairs

Ask the user:

  • Which surfaces will touch?
  • Is there an initial gap or interference?
  • Will surfaces slide or remain bonded?

Step 2: Determine Master vs Slave

Role Should Be
Master Stiffer material, coarser mesh
Slave Softer material, finer mesh

Rule: Slave surface nodes cannot penetrate master surface.

Step 3: Choose Contact Type

Scenario Approach
Permanently bonded surfaces Tie constraint (no slip/separation)
Sliding with friction Surface-to-surface contact
Frictionless contact Surface-to-surface, no tangential
Many bodies touching General contact (auto detection)
Surface folding on itself Self-contact

Step 4: Define Contact Property

Configure normal behavior:

  • Hard contact - Most cases, no penetration allowed
  • Soft contact - For rubber, foam, or gradual engagement

Configure tangential behavior (if not tied):

  • Frictionless - Lubricated surfaces
  • Friction (Coulomb) - Specify coefficient
