Static analysis, deformation in an assembly

[gdelaleux]

Hi,

I'm an engineering student, I need your help for a project, I think I've missed something in my static analysis ; it's an assembly with 2 parts (1 moving in the other, as you can see on the pic).

Yet, there is no deformation, what could I do?

Thank you

Think about expanding your contact area and reducing your initial increment size.

I tried to chnage the increment time but nothing change, I think it's more about contact...

Judging by the random pattern of stress, and the very low values of the same, it seems that no contact has been made at all. Ask your tutor.

Have you specified that there is a contact between the two parts? Unless you explicitly specify this, the program will not know that they might interact (even though they occupy the same space).

Yes I tried rough and friction contact but the inner piece doesn't seem want to "pass trough" the ext one..

Thank you very much!
