Contact stress?

Is it possible to see the stress results due to contact? I've seen that forces (resultant and components) between contacting surfaces can be evaluated, but I haven't seen any options for contact stresses.

 

Thank you.

    Hi,

     

    No, it is not possible to view contact stresses in SimSolid.

    However, it is possible to view force and moment for any contact by clicking on Reaction/contact force dialog in post-processing and then pick the connections you want.

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    As mentioned in my question, I am aware that Simsolid can show the contact forces between two bodies. 

     

    Word to developers: Add this, and above all the ability to assign composite layups to parts (including post processing tools) and Simsolid will definitely become the software of choice for many-many companies...  

     

    Respectfully,
