Prevent penetration of 3D beam into analytical surface
Prevent penetration of 3D beam into analytical surface
(OP)
Hello all,
I'm trying to model an impact of a 3D beam on an analytical rigid. Can any one explain how the penetration of the beam into the analytical rigid body can be prevented. I tried general contact but it did not give the desired result.
Regards,
Mofy

b) If pressure-overclosure=scale factor is available for the solver, then use it to increase the penalty stiffness.

Thank you for your reply. The problem that I am trying to solve needs the tube be modelled as a beam and this tube is drop tested on an analytical rigid surface. I tried many techniques to model the interaction between these parts but I could not prevent the penetration of tube into the analytical rigid surface.
Thank you,
Mofy
