Hello,
I have issues with Femap cylindrical contact as the analysis log (.F06) mentions that there is excessive degrees of freedom (err 4698) in Static analysis.
The assembly is a Rocker part with two pin at the ends and a loaded central pin. The restraints: end pins fixed and central pin locked in rotation. The load is applied on the curves of the central pin symmetrically.
I tried restraining the remaining degrees of freedom as displayed on the deformations on the postprocessing using PARAM, BAILOUT-1 and it still comes up with err 4698 and no deformation visible..
I tried the automatic contact and manually as per the User guide and making sure that my masters are deformable, my slaves rigid and the search -5 to 5 mm with a gap between cylinders of 4 mm. The rest is the default stup for contact property. In the analysis setup I have gaps as contact also.
Do you have any suggestion?
