Obtain contact between components in Solidworks
Obtain contact between components in Solidworks
(OP)
Hello all,
Is there anyway I can model two components in Solidworks, position them and determine the contact area between them? I that the contact area will depend on the load between the components, just wondered if anyone had any thoughts/experience with this?
Thanks.

The first thing that comes to mind is to save the assy as a part, then use the combine feature and substract leaving the surface? Then use measure command for surface area.
