    How can I avoid penetration problem due to joint?

    Thank you Erik for posting such a great reply. I have also little query about the analysis you have performed. have you defined the Loads as shown in the file along with the question post?. The question I have posted needs upper block to rotate from the edge I have provided the joint. I have...

    How can I avoid penetration problem due to joint?

    Thanks for Help Erik and sorry for delayed reply. Starting as per the sequence of points suggested, I have tried to perform them on my model. I have tried point number 1,2,3,4,6,7 and 8. I have done all those things you have mentioned in those points. But the penetration problem is still there...

    How can I avoid penetration problem due to joint?

    Erik Sir, the deformation scale is 350 times the original deformation. Sir, the deformation value is not the problem but the effect that these values producing on the stress concentration and the stress distribution is the main issue. I am attaching the stress contour plot with this message...

    How can I avoid penetration problem due to joint?

    Thank you @L K. The bottom surface of upper trapezoidal block is contact surface while the slant face of the wedge shaped block is divided into 3 faces for creating joint edge (with the help of face split command). since there are 3 faces of wedge shaped block they are defined as target. The...

    How can I avoid penetration problem due to joint?

    Thanks for the reply @karachun. Increasing the contact stiffness reduces the value of penetration but the penetration at the outer edge is relatively the greater than the inner edge (where no penetration is there). I have tried to change the contact algorithm to normal Lagrange but the solution...

    How can I avoid penetration problem due to joint?

    Hello everyone, I am trying to analyse a model with 2 blocks. 1 block is inclined and 1 block is wedge shaped as shown in file attached. The bottom face of lower block is fixed and frictional contact is provided with co-efficient of friction 0.65. Joint is provided at inner edge of block and...
