I am doing a comparative study, which means I have 2 very similar models, but with some small differences in geometry. I would really like to have identical mesh, as the differences are quite small and the results will be affected. However, in one of the 2 models, Meshing automatically updates...
I have a pair of cylinders in contact, one inside the other. The inside cylinder is longer than the outside. When I use Reaction Force probe for the contact, it calculates the total reaction through the entire length/area that is in contact. Is there a way to calculate the reaction force only on...
I have come across a problem I cannot explain, and I hope someone could explain it to me a little.
I have a solid cylinder going through two fixed cylinders, with automatic contacts in between (a bit like shaft and bearings). The outer face of the support cylinders are fixed.
When I run the...
I'm meshing the model. Admittedly, it might be a little complicated, as I have transition from very small geometry (a few mm) to about 100 times that size and I don't need all the elements to be that small. I'm using Contact Sizing in the area I'm interested to be as much as the small elements...
I am trying to create a model to judge the reaction forces between two elements in a contact. It is a static analysis, I have not progressed it to nonlinear. The contact is bonded. When I try to insert the reaction force probe and I choose the contact I want to explore, I cannot get it to define...
Hello,
I am relatively new to contact elements, I work in Workbench 16.
I am trying to model a contact and have some issues with it, so I decided to try the Contact tool. However, it does not produce any results when I run "Initial Information", and the error messages are :"The mesh generation...
