FEA Contact Points
FEA Contact Points
(OP)
Hi,
I have just started to work in FEA analysis on ANSYS Workbench. I find that, when two bodies are in contact it is by default considered as bonded.
can anyone explain the difference between a bonded and fixed constraint.
Also, if there is a bolt and not holding two parts together, what kind of constraints should I use.
Thanks a lot in advance.

RE: FEA Contact Points
This would be a better question on the FEA form or on an ANSYS forum, if we have one.
