With my Cosmos package, do I have the ability to see wear in an analysis?

Hi Steve, In my years of FEA, I don't think I've seen anyone show this. The scale of geometry change compared to the local mesh size would be tough to visualize, even if we could calculate it.

Your best bet is to correlate contact pressures or surface stresses to known wear properties.
