Contact enhancements include the addition of edge-to-edge incompatible bonding and self-contact detection for nonlinear analysis.
Contents
You can create bonded contact between non-touching edges of shell bodies.
A new option allows the detection of self-contact for faces of a body or part that have regions that can come into contact with each other during the simulation. The self-contact option is available for nonlinear studies and static studies running with the large displacement option.
