Using slide line contact

Using slide line contact

Using slide line contact

(OP)
Hi

Does anybody know where to find some background information on slide line contact from Nastran, or especially how to use it within (NX) Nastran. I have an example of slide line functionality which is included within the install of FEMAP, but this works only in this particular example, at least for me! When I try to model something for myself, I get nothing! I use the nonlinear static module with enforced displacements as load. I specify a incremental load (enforced displacement) via Model ->  Load -> Nonlinear analysis in some 200 increments, but the solution won't converge.

What I am trying to model is basically the insertion of "cylinder-shaped" object in some kind of "cavity". What I am intrested in is the force neeeded to force the part in its place. Please have a look at the file attached to get an idea of the model.

Thanks in advance.
