Applying Shrink Fit Contact

You can apply a shrink fit contact between two objects by using the Shrink Fit option in the Contact Set PropertyManager.

To apply shrink fit contact:

  1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click Connections and select Contact Set.

    Selecting Improve accuracy for contacting surfaces with incompatible mesh (slower) for static studies of assembly models with incompatible mesh is recommended.

  2. In the PropertyManager, under Type, select Shrink Fit.
  3. In the graphics area, select the Set 1 contact entities. All entities should belong to the same component.

    Selected entities appear in the Faces, Edges, Vertices for Set 1 box PM_faces_edges_vertices.gif .

  4. Select the Set 2 contact faces. All faces should belong to one component that is different from the component used in step 3.

    Selected faces appear in the Faces for Set 2 box PM_face.gif.

  5. Click PM_OK.gif.
  6. Mesh the model and run the study.
