I try to analyze press fit with 2 contact object like attached file.

this object has 2 contact surface and there are overlaps.

How to set the condition to analyze in succession?

Eg, first contact 1 is calculated and after the calculation,  contact 2 is calculated

    Can you try running contact analysis using contact utilities set to MORIENT:OVERLAP.

    Thank you,

    But what is the difference between MORIENT:OVERLAP and  MORIENT:blank?

    I could do press fit analysis with MORIENT:blank, in this case the overlaps are got rid of at the same time.

    I'd like to get rid of overlap in order...

    For 'MORIENT: Blank' , it takes default which is open gap i.e. contact interface is open. OVERLAP condition says the slave and master body overlaps.
