Hi, I am trying to model a quarter model of quadcopter drone.
I wanted some guidance on two surface contacts, I have attached the snapshots of the two cases.
Case 1: Contact between motor and a spinner: The top part of motor rotates with the spinner, now I am confused as to what type of contact is it.
Can it be a glue or surface contact or should I join it using RB2 and make the dof about vertical axis free (to keep the rotation effect on)
Case 2: Contact between quadcopter arm and plate. There is a bolt connection that I have modeled using bolt element but what about the rest surface in contact, should it be a glue contact only.

Thanks.
