I am trying to make a simple 'tie contact' in my model to connect two meshes with different element size. But i couldn't find any helpful tutorial or example.
Is there a tutorial for contact definition in Hypermesh with OptiStruct solver?

Best regards
Linus

Linus,

you can just follow Altair OptiStruct > OptiStruct Tutorials and Examples > Tutorials > Advanced Small Displacement Finite Element Analysis:
OS-1365: NLSTAT Analysis of Solid Blocks in Contact - go to step 3 . 10
and instead of interface type as contact, choose Tie.

Hi,

the link isn't working any more.

Where can I find the HyperWorks student guide? The search-function only finds some different 'Study Guides'.

Thanks!
