Hello to everyone,
I have a big problem due to an analysis didived into 2 different steps.
In the first one, I performed a static analysis on a component, setting a constrained displacement that bring a surface of component in contact with another surface of a second component.
In the second one I should perform a Transient Analysis in order to study the thermal flux in these two surfaces. But with the change of ANTYPE, Ansys lost any information about the contact and while the analysis is performing, the first component compenetrates the second one. My question is: it is possible to perform this type of analysis? And how can I proceed?
Thanks!
