Contact Penetration in Sliding
Hi,
As shown in GIF, facing penetration issue for surf to surf continuous sliding contact.
1. Tried changing the master and slave
2. Tried S to S and node to surface
3. Used Pcont, tried stiffness value (1000 & 100000) , auto, soft & hard
4. Also tried changing material
5. Tried with Opengap, Norm
But still I couldn't correct the penetration issue
The fem file is attached to this. Please do help me with the issue.

If you can see the maximum number of frames shown is 4 (which is genrally linear animation mode). This is just an animation error according to me. If you animate it in triansient mode instead of linear mode your problem may get solved.

Hi @Karthic
One more issue is that the green component is set with rigid and when the stiffness is set AUTO contact stiffness is calculated at a different stiffness.
Try to remove rigid and apply load on nodes of Green component and please check the results.

Since the green part is solid steel and mating part is plastic, I have made it as rigid.
Thank you, I will try removing the rigid and update the results soon.

Thank you Nachiket

I have tried removing the rigid and load on nodes of Green component, but no improvements in the contact penetration.
I also tried making contact stiffness to SOFT. The same penetrating behavior was observed...

Is there any way to get rid of penetration ?

Karthic,
The one on the left is without rigids and I see minimal penetration.

What about the thickness for the part with minimal penetration.. Its 0.01mm?
I think its thickness too low, so showing minimal penetration.
But in actual case its solid part.
Thank you

Thank you,
Either I should make it rigid or solid part. It cant be shell part.
what if I make the part as solid and still gets penetration....
Is it ok, can I have these penetrations
Or any other way to avoid the penetration, the model being solid or rigid

Hi @Karthic
I wrote to experts and waiting for their reply.
Usually, the penetration could be because of contact stiffness.
Have you tried with PCONT?

Hi @Karthic
Can you try with NLGEOM and PCONTX7 where you can more control over contact stiffness (Istiff)?
Since contact stiffness is based on the stiffness of the components, you can also try to reduce the thickness and check if that helps.

Thank you for the reply, I have solved it using N to S contact (finite sliding)

Still I see slight penetration.

Thankyou @Prakash Pagadala,
May be, Is there any way to avoid it too..
If I vary the stiffness then I couldn't find the actual snapping force. My requirement is regarding the snap force
