No, it is still in 3D only. I have included the shell thickness in the contact. I tried both Penalty and Augmented Lagrange with scaling but no change in the penetration. Does it have anything to do with the shell element in this case? I have uploaded my model. Could you please check and let me...
I tried with a finer mesh with general contact but still the overlap occurs. I also tried moving the hole closer to the load and the overlap is more prominent. Is this overlap unavoidable?
Hello,
I am modelling a plate with a hole in it, subjected to a compressive displacement load. There is an overlap of elements when the hole is compressed and I tried imposing a self-contact to the whole plate but the overlap still occurs. My model is a 3D part with shell elements. I tried...
