But in drop test that solid blocks go off from the fixed Locations. If I select the entire solid block Surface area and entire sheet metal Surface area then it works correctly, but that does not represent the reality.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>what could be the reasons for that ? How can I make Simulation work with these bolted Areas instead of total area of Solid block and Sheet metal?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/d9b88b84-67f7-4dde-ad38-aa6b007f2de2\/6e072968-df0d-4bc2-be52-aa6b00873831_all-contacts.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/d9b88b84-67f7-4dde-ad38-aa6b007f2de2\/7d2bc207-b0a3-46d2-8d41-aa6b00874fa7_drop-test.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/d9b88b84-67f7-4dde-ad38-aa6b007f2de2\/fbb7ece0-8865-4c5c-a916-aa6b0086a275_contact-areas.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-35922","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["8094"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["2400"],"_bbp_subscription":["240689"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["35922"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["897","160648","166011"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["87190"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["87190"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-06-17 11:13:00"]},"test":"ravikumarjeela7"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/35922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/35922\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
