    Contact problem

    Blas...thanks for all the great info...One other question regarding the interference condition...So if I am analyzing for a pressfit condition, the 'offset' would be defined at the difference in diameters, correct?...Not the actual deformation between the two parts (per Shigley, etc.)...thanks...

    Contact problem

    Blas...are you aware of anything regarding mesh density between target and source?...I have been told by others that this is important when dealing with SOL 400 (MSC Nastran)...Just curious if you are aware of anything similar for NX SOL 101.... thx, scott

    also, is there anything specific (or special) that needs to be done to the connection properties?

    Contact problem

    Blas...thanks for all that info....very helpful...regarding the use of the offset...will that need to be declared on the slave and master or just the slave or just the master surface? thx, scott

    Contact problem

    Blas...I'm running a somewhat similar problem and having issues...I've had decent results in the past using the linear surface contact and SOL 101...but this time I'm having trouble and I think it might be related to the fact that I have a small space between surfaces when the solution begins...
