Split Surfaces

Hi all,

 

I'm new to SimSolid having previous experience of Ansys and Creo Simulate (ProE).

 

Regarding contact, I'm finding it frustrating that it doesn't seem possible to apply a contact to only part of a surface.  For example bonding local to a bolt hole (if the bolt is not included in the model) and applying a separating contact to the remainder of the contacting face.  Normally I would split the surface so that I could apply separate contacts but I don't see how to do this in SimSolid. 

 

Does anyone know a workaround so that I can apply different contacts to different areas of a surface (or split the surface?).

 

Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure SimSolid cound do this operation. Keep in mind that SimSolid is not CAD software. So it's better to do CAD operations in CAD software before running SimSolid.
