Hi,

 

As far as I know, OS prefer Surf vs Surf contact. (in HM 2020, this was changed to another name - Segment (Do not know why).

I wanted to contact Surf vs Surf contact in Sinmab (for OptiStruct) but it always create Nodes_Set vs Surf.

 

Any comments and advices are appreciated

Thanks.

    Hi Adriano,

     

    Thank you for your help. After I click on S2S, it can generate segment MS vs Segment SL contact successfully. An I can run my rubber model successfully.

    I am HM user and thought Surface to Surface is just option which activates after we define MS-SL contact.

     

    Thank you very much again.
