    contact with shell elements

    Thank you Alex and Garry !! I will try both 91 and 181.

    contact with shell elements

    I think the problem will be the same with shell93 elements since I need to impose a thickness. but there is probably a way so that the shell thickness does not alter contact solutions...

    contact with shell elements

    Hi, I'm trying to generate contact between 2 shells but when I ask a cncheck, Ansys says that I've got an initial penetration due to the shell elements' thicknesses. Is there a way to thicken shell element only in one direction? thanks in advance.

    working plane

    Hi, I've created a working plane and I would like my forces and displacements to be created I this WP. After the WPLANE command, I've added : CSYS,4 CSWPLA,11 DSYS,11 WPCSYS,11 Then, when I create my forces, they seem to be placed correctly in this WP but when I ask ANSYS to solve, they are...

    quad or tri ??

    hello ! does anyone know why it is preferable to use quad and hexa elements instead of tri and tetra ? and where can I find a mathematical proof of this? Thank you in advance ! Cheers

    connect surfaces

    Thank you! I've added control points (and every curve consists of only one spline) but it's not sufficient and some surface "lines" remain :-( I think my surface is desperately too irregular (it represents a teething) except if it was possible to increase the degree of complexity used by Proe...

    connect surfaces

    No... the same kind of lines appears when you create a surface by blending splines, each spline made of several segments...

    connect surfaces

    Hello, I've got a problem with proe when I create a surface via splines (with the "Boundary Blend Tool"). In fact Proe adds lines on the new surface (the more the geometry is sophisticated, the more Proe adds lines) and that makes a problem when I try to mesh it in ANSYS since ANSYS imports it...

    Import a solid

    Hello ! Is it possible to import a mesh as a solid in ADAMS? I would like to create contact between two elements but it is not possible with .stl parts. (I hope my english is understandable [PONDER] ) Thanks ...
