Hi,nnI have several parts that they are connected with bonded contacts (I cannot use the sharedtoplogy since it will make so many difficulties for making a good quality mesh). All these parts has initial states (strain or stress). The problem is that when I introduce these initial states, bonded contacts are not recognized by the solver and parts start showing the penetrations. I removed the initial stats and thing are working properly. Is there any specific setting for the contact in this problem that I can change and solve this issue?!nIs there any better way than bonded contact to tie parts in ansys?.Thanksn
