Dear All,

Could you help me to verify, is my simulation valid or not?

I do not know because this is first time I use contact in hyperworks

my material is steel, with mechanical properties :

1. E = 205000 MPa

2. Poisson Ratio = 0.29

3. Density = 7.85E-6 kg/mm3

4. Yield Strength = 490 MPa

5. UTS = 686 MPa

 

The .hm files is in attachment.

Thanks and Best regards,

Iron_Man

    Hi,

     

    Stick, Slide contatcts are generally not recommended for linear static analysis.

     

    In your case it is OK for now, but prefer using freeze instead.

    Hi @Prakash Pagadala,

    Thanks for your answer

    About type of contact I have chosen in my simulation, I will evaluate again.
