Hello again.
I am trying to put contact or coincidence assembly constraints on curved surfaced, this for FEA in structural analysis. How can I acheive full contact between surfaces without one flat area? The thick surfaces solid (in part design) are all made one over the other. From one extracted surface then one thick surface and then another extracted surface etc... so on so forth like pages in a bent book. All pages are all in full contact, all have a thickness and they all have different bends. Imagine you bend a book after putting glue between each page, then it becomes a laminated of multi sheets of paper. I need to test bend in FEA this laminated book ! I would be easy with flat surfaces but it is not the case.
Thank you in advance.
