Overview
Properly capturing the interactions of parts plays a critical role in the structural analysis of any assembly. Parts transfer forces to each other, and they may provide some restraint as well. Since the contact surfaces may experience relative sliding or separation, nonlinear contact problems may pose special solution challenges. In this premium learning material, you will gain an understanding of the different ways to model part interactions for nonlinear analyses and learn the skills necessary to implement advanced contact features that are vital for the accurate representation of many complex real-world physical phenomena.
Learning Outcome
Following completion of this premium learning material, you will be able to:
- Understand the underlying contact modeling technology and how it differs from the shared topology approach.
