When defining contacts in Inspire for a structural simulation, my contacts are not cooperating. I am getting a contact to the side of the surfaces actually contacting as shown in the attachments. This is creating my contacts to be larger than the surfaces touching themselves.  imageimage

    Hi Andrew,

    It's difficult to see what the issues are with the contacts from the images. Are you able to attach a GIF or video of the outcome to better understand the issues?

    If you are having issues with defining the contacts, you can always partition the parts such that the contacts will be defined with less of the part considered.

     

    Hope this helps!
