Contact tool in static structural

      Hi,

      I am working on interference fit project.

      Initially, I've given user defined contact by creating manual contact → Frictional type btw hole and shaft generated initial results in contact tool. Generated a tabular column and verified the pin ball radius and gap.

      I've closed an opened the analysis file.

      Again generated initial information..it has update symbol with no messages and errors.

      By default, there were connections generated by program and while retrieving initial information in contact tool, it is no generating the values, status..etc basically, it is not generating a tabular information and there is no error message. I've tried many ways to retrive the info by the following.

      1) Tried retriveing info from contacts generated by program. 

      2) Tried giving mesh, constrains and generation of initial information.

      2) Tried retriveing info from supressing/deleting the default contacts and created new.

      3) Inverted the selection of contact and target bodies.

      4) Supressed all contacts and one by one i was unsupressing and generating initial information tabular column.

      4) Reset the whole model in workbench and tried again.

      5) Restarted the system and freshly opened the file. 

      None of the above worked crazy part is there is no message or error displayed just an update symbol by the side of initial information.

      please helpme out!

      You can right click on "contact tool" and insert a solution information. Then generate initial contact results. Check the solution information and see if it has any errors/warnings

      Update reg...

      Cleared the temp files of ansys and the initial information generated without any error or warning or message.
