How to create tie, freeze ,slide, friction contact in Nastran profile in HyperMesh ?

Naresh19908

Hii,

I am on a structural assembly in Nastran using HyperMesh, where multiple components interact. I need to define different types of contact interfaces between these components to simulate realistic physical behavior under loading conditions. The contact definitions must be compatible with Nastran solver requirements:

The goal is to properly define the following contact types:

Tie Contact
Freeze Contact
Slide Contact
Friction Contact

Hello

YOu can create these through the Contact Browser

YOu can RMB and create the necessary cards and setup in the Browser itself.

I would also recommend using Auto Contact

This is a question for Nastran Support. The cards are provided in Hypermesh but the user should be aware of how to use them from the solver (Nastran) perspective.
