ContactSim©: A surface contact analysis software

Contact solver using FFT and CGM (conjugate gradient method) approaches to solve for contact pressure based on any arbitrary contact geometry and any machined or artificial roughness
Module to calculate various subsurface stresses
Module to solve contact problems with layered / coated bodies
Module to consider thermo-elasticity
Module to solve line contact problems (Dimension of contact zone in one direction is infinitely long, or much greater than that in the other direction)
Module to solve elastic-plastic contact problems

Mixed EHL solver using FFT and PMD (progressive mesh densification) approach to solve for lubricant film thickness and pressure distributions in point contacts. It is capable of simulating the entire transition from full-film and mixed EHL down to dry contact with machined or artificial surface roughness under severe operating conditions
Module to calculate interfacial flash temperature and friction/traction
Module to calculate various subsurface stresses
Module to calculate and display lubricant flow streamlines
Module to simulate sliding wear and surface evolution (including running-in)
Module to solve mixed EHL problems with layered / coated bodies
Module to solve mixed EHL problems considering effects of plastic deformation and materials hardening
Module to solve line contact problems (Dimension of contact zone in one direction is infinitely long, or much greater than that in the other direction) with 3-dimensional surface roughnes
