Find Contact Pairs

Find Contact Pairs

Find Contact Pairs

(OP)
Hi, I've got a knee model with plenty of parts that "should" be in contact. I'm trying to use the GUI "Find Contact Pair" option, but it tells me that no candidates can be found. I've broadened the search criteria, but no avail. There should be PLENTY of potential contact pairs. Any ideas as to why this function isn't returning any possible pairs?

RE: Find Contact Pairs

Are your "parts" really separate instances or are they just separate regions within one instance?

RE: Find Contact Pairs

And there we have the source of the problem.

For the solution take a closer look at the options at the first tab of the Find Contact Pair dialog.
