After completing the definition of the contact conditions, you mesh the
model and run the analysis.
To mesh the model and run the nonlinear analysis:
-
In the Simulation study tree, right-click the Mesh
icon and select Create Mesh.
-
In the PropertyManager, under Mesh
Parameters:
-
Select Curvature-based
mesh.
-
Set Unit
to in.
-
In the Maximum element
size
box, type 0.05.
-
Under Advanced:
-
For Mesh Quality, select
High.
-
For Jacobian Points, select 16
points.
-
Under Options, select
Run (solve) the analysis.
-
Click
to
accept the values.
The application runs the simulation. When prompted to switch to
Node-to-Surface contact, click No to continue with Surface-to-Surface
contact.
