Hello experienced people,
I have some (maybe amateur) question to ask about "NX Advanced simulation". I have to construct same linear static analysis using both solid (3D) meshing and mid-surfaces (2D).
(fig:a) I have a model (other parts/details are been excluded) consisting of two solids with different material properties. The surface to be constrained is shown in the fig.
(fig:b) In 3D meshing I have used mesh mating condition to implement attachment between them.
(fig:c) After creating mid-surfaces there is a gap between the mid-surface (fig:d).
My questions are:
1. Which standard command/process is there in NX to attach these distant mid-surfaces?
I wanted to project the meshes from one surface to another and connect the nodes with RBE 2 elements. How can I do that?
2. If i constrain the same face at the the mid-surface, will it be the same as constraining the face of original object (as absolute position of constrain co-ordinate is changing due to reduced thickness)?
