Reply To: Confused on Boundary conditions

[Sri Harsha Kallakuri]

Hello Peter,

I hope you are doing well. We have done exactly what you have said. After some trial & error, we have got the correct plastic deformation and simulation at the ear but not completely. Here is the 7mm displacement on the pincers in the image. If we increase the displacement, the pincers contact with the ear is getting disconnected. What should we do to achieve complete crimping of the ear? I have also observed in the attached image that the pincers itself getting bent. Should we design actual hook type pincers?

Please help us.

Thank you
