contact problem in dynamics analysis

contact problem in dynamics analysis

(OP)
Hi evryone.

Let me explain you my problem:
I attached the center of a blade on a wheel with a "stick" condition and out of the center of the blade, im trying to find which boundary conditions can represent a contact?

Anyone knows how to represent a contact condition during a dynamic analysis (dynam) in Patran when the mesh are not the same between those 2 structures?
In fact im trying to show how far the blade is affected by the rigidity of the wheel.
I tried MPC but it constrained too much.
thanks in advance for your help
