Max traction parameter for tensional component of sliding elastic with tension.

[pottsm330]

Hi,

This suggestion is further to a discussion on the FEBio forums (https://forums.febio.org/forum/febio-studio-forum/users-forum-ad/18941-method-to-implement-a-sticky-sliding-contact).

Currently there is no easy way to model just one half of a fracture problem (with respect to a central single plane fracture line). A breakable tension option for the sliding elastic contact would allow one to model one half of a symmetrical deformable body up against a meshed rigid wall and use this proposed version of the contact to model the problem.

Kind Regards,

Matt
