Frictional No separation contact

      Hello,

      Is it possible to create a frictional contact in bodies, which will not allow seperation of contact between any load steps. Once frictional contact is created is should not seperate.

      If above is not possible, then can we give friction in No seperation contact

      Hi,
      I am not sure if what you are asking is possible in Workbench.
      Not allowing frictional contact to separate goes against the real world definition of a frictional contact between two bodies. Also, No Separation contact is a linear contact, therefore friction cannot be defined for it. (Frictional contacts are nonlinear by nature.)

      Maybe other forum members have some insight on this.

      Regards,
