Dear All,

Can someone please explain to me in more detail the FRICMOD option in NX Nastran Sol 601. It appears that FRICMOD=4 requires three parameters A1,A2,A3. I believe that A1=Static and A2-Dyanmic but am not sure what A3=?? I believe that it may be speed but the documentation is very unclear. Can someone please elaborate what the A3 parameter value is, how it is used, and what are the units? If anyone has experience using these parameters I would greatly appreciate more clarification.

Also, if there is another way to input Static and Dynamic friction please let me know.

Sincerely,

TheCADGUY
