    Rigid Body Contact

    Hello Contact between two discrete rigid surface is allowed only in explicit general contact (but i'm not sure) If you use standard solver, and contact pair algorithm, you can use only surfaces which are "rigidized" by rigid body constraint (here the base body is deformable), and not...

    Rigid Body Contact

    Hello, As far as I remember, you can define contact between two rigid bodies (for example between two meshed discrete rigid bodies) But there are a lot of limitation regarding the used surface (for example cannot be both of them analytical rigid), the used algorithm, etc. See the User manual...

    Joint Stop

    Hello, Thank you for your answer. Yes, my problem is the calibration of the contact, not its using. I will try the nonlinear spring, this solution probably has also calibration problem, but maybe easier to solve it, because my joint stop device (in the real design) is a bumper, a rubber like...

    Joint Stop

    Hello, Are there any possibilities in the ADAMS to stop a joint motion in a specified joint positon like for example in the ProEngineer/ProMechanism? With or without restitution? An example: there is a revolution joint, hinge like, and one wants to prescribe, that the motion to be limited in a...

    Kinematic Coupling Problem

    Hello, Try to use a cylindrical coordinate system for the definiton of the kinematical coupling. Set free the U1 translation DOF in this coordsystem, which is the radial motion in this case. So inflation of the diameter can work, and the rotation will be transferd by the translation in...

    addData python function

    Hello, I'm working on a python script and would like to use the addData method to visualize my data. My data come from some calculation on the stress tensor of every element and I would like to visualize the results of these elements. I've used this formula: R1_out =...

    mode based steady state dynamics problem

    Hello, I'm working on a problem and should make a harmonic analysis for it. My problem is, that I have acceleration field as load. I prescribe it as gravity (DLOAD), with its components, and one of the component is in phase (varying cosinusoidally in time, real part) the other one is out of...
