Contact Verification

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,

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.

Thanks for your answer

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