Dear All,

 

I have one shaft of dia 35mm and Hole of 35 mm with -/+ tolerences and interference is of 42 microns. how can I capture the deformation of hole and shaft in nano-scale. how to select element size for this simulation.

 

Regards,

GANESH M

    Hi Ganesh,

    It's practically not possible to do a simulation for this. As the deformation is in nano scale the mesh size should also be in that range and in such a case the time step of the run also will drop very drastically.
