Description
Previously, for both assemblies and multi-body parts the solver bonded all bodies and parts. Creo Simulation Live now automatically detects and creates bonded contacts for the part or assembly when you create a new design study. Contacts are automatically created for structural, modal, and thermal studies. Contacts can be created for fluid studies, but they are typically not required. Contacts are also automatically created for multi-physics studies. The contacts are displayed in the Model Tree and can be edited or removed.
Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Improved accuracy using contacts
• Automatic contact creation
