Deformation of a componente in contact with himself?
Deformation of a componente in contact with himself?
(OP)
I'm usig Pro Mechanica integrated in ProE WF2 and i'm simulating a deformation of one component. But the problem is that this component has a flange that under the force has to come in contact with itself. I'm tring to use contact command, but the flange penetrate the upper part of the component. This is not the real simulation, because that flange has to deformed itself when be in contact with other surface of the component.
Anyone have a comment to solve this situation?
thank you very much
I have attached an image that rapresents the 2 situation: "NO" is the actual situation of penetration, "YES" is the condition i'm searching to obtain

Also, make sure that you check the results based upon 2 or 3 different analyses with differnt number of load step increments. The load stepping the method in which mechnical approximates the non-linear solution.
