    Thermal Contact in APDL

    Thanks for your help everyone. This works great for my practice problem, but when I try to include it into my real code (transient, killed elements, and temperature dependent mat props) it fails again, and I'm not sure the issue. In the image, there is a penetrated layer below the solid, and...

    Thermal Contact in APDL

    Amazingly helpful thank you. Yes I was trying to perform structural and thermal together, as thermal expansion is a big part of the more complex model (not shown here). I'm still getting some penetration issues, but I'm now able to conduct heat through the contact. Thanks so much Petr. Ben

    Over-constrained assembly issues

    The faces are normal, and the coincidence is between centerlines. Still not sure the issue. Thanks for your help though

    Over-constrained assembly issues

    Hi, I've been doing some sample work with Catia Assembly, and am getting the issue "Ignored constraint: the system of constraints is inconsistent or over-constrained". It occurs when I try to attach two cylinders at their tips with contact, and align them with coincident. I can do either...
