Or MPC will do the needful and pinball would be kept at program controlled.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Pinball radius should just be equal to gap? suppose for 1 mm gap, its ok to give to 1 mm as radius ? (even this will show as Orange coloured in contact tool).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If possible, please share suggestions pointwise.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-381471","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["170811","88"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2406:b400:d5:faa:c125:33e:4176:4963"],"_btv_view_count":["358"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["381471"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["88","170811"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["381521"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["381521"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-09-04 11:21:05"]},"test":"deepesh"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/381471","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\/381471\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
