Contact Sets between surfaces of two separeted parts
Contact Sets between surfaces of two separeted parts
(OP)
can anyone help me..
i have some problems to define a contact set between the two surfaces of two separate modeled parts.. when I try to add a surface to a region/contact set, I can only choose surfaces of one part.. (surfaces of the other part are not highlighted)
what can I do to define the contact set, when I can only add the surfaces of one part??? I would be glad, if anyone could help me... thanks..

I think I know what your problem is. Sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you meshed two seperate parts that were not "joined". This means you have two parts and two fems, but they are seperate from eachother. If I'm going to do a contact problem using surface definition, I always "join" the two parts together in Master Modeler and then generate one fem rather than two parts and two fems. That way all surfaces will be available for contact definition. If you don't join them I'm not sure how they would know about eachother. Let me know if you need more help.
