Contact Interface
Contact Interface
(OP)
Hii everyone!!
I've got a pb so hope someone will be able to help me.
Here is a picture of the system I'm working on. The aim of the simulation is to apply a load on the hemispherical element (orange arrow).
Because of this load, the system is pivoting to the left. My pb is: the screw you can see in the middle of the system throught the interface located on its right ( red circle). The screw should stop itself on the interface. But How could I do that? Add a contact interface?
Thanks !!

RE: Contact Interface
A contact interface should be able to solve that issue.
RE: Contact Interface
I added a contact interface but I don't really know if it worked.
Indeed, when I want to look my system with an animation, there are just 2 frames in the animation instead of 8 ( because I chose 8 frame for the animation).
i observed that when I add a contact interface, the animation works with 2 steps: one at 0scd and the second one at 1scd. I tried to add more steps but I didn't find how.
do you know what I mean?
RE: Contact Interface
I know what you mean but i'm not an expert myself. I have added some contact surfaces im my simulations and just used step1 for the results, but I noticed the same as you.
Unfortunately i'm having some doubts myself in how to correctly set up the simulation for assembled parts. :(

RE: Contact Interface
thanks for your reponses.
Brep I found in the analysis setup dialog box the "Output" tab you talked about. But there is nothing about the fact that it's saved at Time 0 Oo" And nothing about the steps I should be able to define...
I cliked on the "Analysis" key. Then the "Analysis and conception studies" window appears. I define a new static analysis with which I define the convergence% and Indeed there is a "Output" tab but nothing about what you talked about..
Here is a picture of the window (but in french...)
RE: Contact Interface
In order to see what I described you'll need to check the box (shown in your attached picture of the dialog box) that says "Non Lineare / Utiliser les historiques de charge"
RE: Contact Interface
Oki I understand what you mean. I checked this box and Indeed I can edit the output tab ;)
Thanks for your help!
