One body has 1 element and 2 directions/contact overlap

      Hi everyone,

      1. Im trying to simulate one imported assembly from catia. Once imported the program made the contact regions. When i run it, it appears this info message and i dont know what to change.

       

      2. The program made al the contact regions and it says that they are overlaping, but doesn´t appear which one

       

      3. I dont see any stress or deformation in any body besides the one that the force is apply in, is this a import error or the other bodies dont suffer enough deformation and stress? Maybe the contacts are wrong (contact type)

       

      Thanks for any help

      Hi

      Think the message is clear.

      Quite a few posts on this:

      Also this might help (contact).

      All the best

        Hi erik

        I´ve read the conversations but they dont comment anything about the body with 1 element and 2 directions. I dont know if this is the problem wich causes the force not going through other bodies .

         

        Thanks for the info because the overlapping apart is fixed!

        I dont know if its necessary but this is the body: the pin is suffering from stress but it stops there
