Contact definition between rigid parts and/or deformable parts
Contact definition between rigid parts and/or deformable parts
(OP)
Hi I am running my model which based on on deformable body assembled with a rigid part and both can slide on another rigid part. However I am getting a job error : THE SLAVE SURFACE ASSEMBLY_PICKEDSURF74 CANNOT CONSIST OF EITHER DISCRETE RIGID ELEMENTS OR ANALYTICAL RIGID SURFACE.
can anyone help me understand what this error mean?
can anyone help me understand what this error mean?

My best guess would be that you have over constrained your model. But not know what software or analysis type, it makes it difficult to guess.

Follow these general guidelines for Slave/Master and you should be fine:
1. Coarser (mesh)-stiffer should be master.
2. Rigid must be master.
Try it.
