Parts that cross others in a separating contact

Carlos Fondevila

Hi all,

I have a simulation assembly, where I have several parts pushing a tubes (with an separating contact, with a 0,15 of friction coeficient). The tubes are fixed, and the other moves sliding throw 2 guides and for some reason, this part cross the fixed part.

In this assembly, I have 12 equal parts doing the same, but the problem occurs only in 2 of them.

Bellow you cas see in orange, the sliding parts, that moves throw its guides in the direction that are shown by the rows:

 

We have a contact botween the pushers and the tubes:

But when we start the simulation, 2 of the 12 pushers cross the tube, as you see bellow:

 

Do you kwow where is the problem?

More information, the tubes that are crossed, has have not reaction in its contact area:

But for example, in another tube that is not crossed, we have components in the contact area:
