Description
Previously and by default, objects in contact are considered as bonded contacts. You can now define contacts between surfaces as Free, Bonded or No separation. No separation type of contact should be used to define contact surfaces. Free setting will cause touching surfaces to behave as if they have no contact.
For a particular type of contact to participate in a simulation study, you must define a contact for the study. Otherwise, all contacts within the model are considered as bonded contacts.
Free Contact
Bonded Contact
Benefits
• More accurate solutions where contact is important
• Can now define when touching surfaces are free
• Contact stresses can now be reported
