Contact Manager

(OP)
Hi,

I am using contact manager to generate contact surfaces for sliding motion between two continuously contacting surfaces. The target surface is to be rigid, however, when I start contact manager, the "rigid" option is greyed out. I can only choose between "flexible" and "pilot node". Any idea why this is so?

RE: Contact Manager

I believe, that there has to be an unmeshed area, that can be pointed as a rigid target.
Thus yout target has be unmeshed in order to be rigid.

Thanks,
