hey,
I have modeled a spring element and needs to give contact between one node of the spring element and the rigid wall or rigid body,,, anyone knows what kind of contact should i use for this purpose?
thanks

In LS-Dyna it is always recommended to use the automatic contacts.
So maybe the automatic node to surface contact should work.
But that depends on what you want to do with the contact.

User's guide is good also.

You need to use Tied Contacts for this purpose.

Hey,
Thank you both of you Pgpda and DDM84 for the help otherwise theres is no support for LSDYN users on internet.
I got the contacts correctly.....
Automatic contacts are preffered when u dont know on which side the penetratin will come.....andd are most widely ued in crash simulations..
