oPTISTRUCT CONTACT
Altair EmployeeHI,
I WANT TO DEFINE CONTACT IN OPTISTRUCT, ITS A SIMPLE GEOMETRY SIMILAR TO SNAP FIT.
BUT WHILE CONTACTING THE SURFACES ARE PENETRATES TO EACH OTHER.
CAN YOU PLEASE SUGGEST ME HOW TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE
I AM USING QUASI STATIC ANALYSIS WITH SOME FORCE AND NLPARAM

Please find attached sample deck for resolving interference fit in OptiStruct.
You need to make use of Clearance option on the PCONT card to resolve the fit
Hope this helps.

THAKS FOR YOUR REPLY IN SHORT PERIOD.
YOU PLEASE SEE THE LAST STEPS, IN LAST STEPS ITS PENETRATES AND ITS MOVE FURTHER WHEN I INCREASES THE FORCE.
ITS A VISUALISATION PROBLEM OF ANY THING ELSE.

HOW I MAY GET THE REALISTIC RESULT.
KINDLY LET ME KNOW, I WANT TO USE PLASTIC MATERIAL AND WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FORCE IS REQUIRED TO CLAMP THE SNAP FIT.
ITS LIKE FORCE VS DISPLACEMENT.
