    Hi Ram,

     

    You can use TYPE6 contact interface to model impact between two rigid surfaces.

    it is not working properly for gravity loads.

    could you share some snapshot of your model where you are considering this scenario?

    it is working for small analysis but for complex structures it is not. is it problem with force vs penetration curve?

    i'm getting no error but interference is failing. it is for applying more gravity force

    How are you defining the rigids?

     

    Can you share the model file?
