Hi Bhushan,

 

Just measure distance between two contact surfaces and that SRHDIS > (Measured Distance). Your contact will work whatever the type of contact is.

 

Thanks !

Is it correct to give tie contact between solid and surface contact.In optistruct and Type 2 contact in radioss ?

Hi @ank

Yes, I think there shouldn't be any problem.

No problem like degree of freedom ?

Tie contact as a boundary condition and the condition with shell and solid is that the translational dof reduce to rotational dof. 

 

So there should be no problem.
