the order of contacting

VAL1

I used non-linear transient analysis to know contact force between two objects.

In post porocessing , I want to know the order of contacting part.

for example,

0.001s contact element 228602

0.003s contact element 225841

How do I know the order contacting each point?

Hello,

There is something wrong.

*** FATAL ERROR # 8111 ***
vfileio:: Failed write for file[2], i/o 16384/0,
name=C:/Users/nFukata/Desktop/Zhao san/model03_r4_6060_02.rs~.
This is likely caused by insufficient disk space.

What is this error?

Hi,

Looks like there is not enough space available.

Can you change the working directory and check if that helps?

Please share the .out file if that ain't help

HI,

The problem is with the disc space.

Please use TMPDIR to allow solver write scratch files in a different bigger directory.

Please check the .cntgap.file which will be written in your working directory.
