Reply To: Problem with contacts/joints

Hi!

I tried running 2D analysis so far for simplification. The reason I said my results aren't convincing is because there is a huge penetration in my analysis. Deformations are also really big, not sure why and my results on the snowboard are equal to 0, as if the force didn't translate to it. I have seen the courses you sent me, I tried playing with contacts, boundary conditions etc. but nothing seems to work. I created contacts with these things in mind: less stiff material is a contact body, contact areas are meshed fine, contact type: bonded. I don't know how to improve my model in order to get more realistic results
