Hi,

I am running a frequency response analysis and have come contacts in the model. How can I know whether the contact is working fine like can I get the contact force values for Frequency response analysis or any other output parameter to verify contact functioning.

    Hi Gopal,

     

    Contact force output is not valid for FRF analysis. Maybe by animating you can get some idea?

    Hi,

    I checked with animation but was not able to get enough confidence  through it.

    Gopal,

     

    What type of contact do you have on your model.

    Gopal,

     

    In HV you can check the relative displacement between two component which are in contact. If the same is zero then contact is working is fine else there is something wrong with contact,
