Hello!
I am trying to determine how much my tools will deflect when pressed into each other with a set pressure.
The left tool is able to slide along a rail into the other tool. I have created a model where the tools are almost already touching. I have appllied pressures to the back of the sliding tool. Unfortunately it just passes through the rails that it should be sliding along. The tools never end up influencing each other.

I have watched numerous tutorials at this point and am unsure as to why the left tool isnt being pressed into the right tool.
I have two steps, the first just tto try and get everything setteled in position. the second has a force applied.

The contacts that i would expect to move are all frictional or frictionless.
<\/p>\n

for example the “sliding holder” holds the left tool. it wraps around the “rail” and should be able to move.
<\/p>\n

As stated the parts just seem to pass through each other and fly into space even though the contacts have been defined. 
Should I be doing this as a dynamic analysis instead? are there any suggestions to changes I could try implementing?
thanks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-362328","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
