Hello,
In 3DEC V7.00.146, after reactivating, with the command “block fill”, concrete support of a tunnel, which has been deactivated upon tunnel excavation with the command “block excavate”, I see that many subcontacts do not have forces (normal and shear) and state, even though joint model and contact properties have been defined, and there’s non-null relative displacements. Below is an example of information of such a subcontact:
Subcontact 729439
Subcontact: 729439
Contact: 4304445
Location: (30.6171,7.30467,444.792)
Blocks: 19184,110614
Groups: None
Constitutive model: mohr
Fracture ID: 0
Area: 0.153308
Normal force: 0
Shear force: (0,0,0)
State:
Rel Normal disp: -0.00438345
Rel Shear disp: (0.01563,-0.00174322,-0.000829532)
Fortran Offset: 1241423929
While other subcontacts similarly defined do have contact forces and state, such as:
Subcontact 729564
Subcontact: 729564
Contact: 14844384
Location: (25.3671,9.55036,435.274)
Blocks: 451001,192343
Groups: None
Constitutive model: mohr
Fracture ID: 0
Area: 0.258712
Normal force: 0.857327
Shear force: (0.103411,0.00327523,0)
State: slip-p
Rel Normal disp: -0.000192664
Rel Shear disp: (-2.32628e-05,-7.26091e-07,0)
Fortran Offset: 1241429554
What could be the common reason for and how to correct this ?
Cheers,
