A question about rigid body in contact simulation?
- Thread starter R.Guo
- Start date
Discrete rigid parts can have an arbitrary shape since they are meshed with (rigid) elements just like a regular part. Analytical rigid parts on the other hand are limited to very simple smooth shapes (line, plane and so on) as they are not meshed but rather included as a mathematical description of their simple geometry. They are faster to solve.
