This will put contact detection right at the edge nodes. Please note that surf-surf can be wrapped around the edge and then switched to nodal detection.   Also, if a force based load is needed, try starting with a displacement and then switch to force after contact at the edge has been established.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-165544","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-19-1","topic-tag-contact","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-structural-and-thermal","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["3\/15\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27795"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["2408"],"siebel_km_number":["2055465"],"product_version":["19.1"],"km_published_date":["2018-07-28T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Mechanical"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165544\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
