Abstract

A non-invasive implementation of the Latin domain decomposition method for frictional contact problems is described. The formulation implies to deal with mixed (Robin) conditions on the faces of the subdomains, which is not a classical feature of commercial software. Therefore we propose a new implementation of the linear stage of the Latin method with a non-local search direction built as the stiffness of a layer of elements on the interfaces. This choice enables us to implement the method within the open source software Code_Aster, and to derive 2D and 3D examples with similar performance as the standard Latin method.
