Modeling of a cup//cone Interface between thin gfk pannels

[ChrisP.]

Hi,

My current project requires me to model a cup // cone Interface between two pannels. How can I model a connection between the two panels which allows movement in say postitive X direction but restricts movement in all other directions.

Greetings,

Chris

You can probably go about this several ways. Using Contacts might be the easiest way depending on what type of analysis you are running. You can setup a connection region for each face and create a connector with a "Contact" property and define a friction coefficient.
