      Hi, 

      I have this plate made up of 4 panels joined together by revolute joints with a certain torsional rigidity. I'm interested in folding, so I apply compressive loads to the right of the structure and evaluate the displacements. I did both a static and transient analysis, and in both cases the contact doesn't seem to hold, it opens. any suggestions?

      Hi,

      Have you tried using "Behavior = Rigid" for scoped edges in the joint definition.
