Mesh Match For Contact Creation

Pandurang

HI All

 

I want to create match mesh between 2 Component (but matching surface having different area) for contact creation

i writing the script for this one.

 

Step i have done till now:

1. create mesh on one surface .

2  project mesh.

3. trim the surface (if one surface is small than other) using outside nodes

4. then create 2D tria  Mesh for remaining surface after trimming : But the problem is mesh connectivity

how to overcome this issue?

Any idea

Hello @Pandurang

 

I recommend to use 'Contact Browser', it has the Auto-Contact feature.

5) Find edges on elems created in 4) and nearby contact area

6) delete a layer of elems that attached to edges found in 5)

7 )use ruled mesh to connect contact elems with remained mesh
