Hi everyone,

I have used patran for awhile,
I face a problem that when I need to analyze my assembly part with more than 100 components,
how do I create glue contact of every components?

I used to create deformable body of each component and do contact table, that make my brain loss and my finger stuck.

Is there any automatic contact generation in patran?

Thank in advance
Best Regard
