Referring to the attached file, page 22, i would ask if someone could tell me how insert that commands (contact_penetration; contact_nr_its) and also the enviroment variable ( MSE_CONTACT_TOLERANCE_FACTOR).
Furthermore, I would be pleased if someone could give me the guide lines to solve the contact problem in the second attached file.
I've already faced this problem recently, but I've never known if I done all right. The semplifications in the geometry are made because the lower part of the shaft don't move; indeed, if you look at the suppressed parts, you look other bushings that constrain the shaft.
I'm interested know the contact pressure between shaft and the highest bushing.
In the end, some questions about contact interfaces:
- Slit surfaces: is it always reccomended to check it?
- Generate compatible mesh: all the times I've checked it, I had some convergence prolem. So..?
- Kind of references: surface-surface or component componet. Are there any differences apart the convenience of pick reference? And, in case of comp-comp, in base of what I have to choose "separation distance" and"angle"?
I work in Creo 2.0 and the file are made in that, but i have also the WF5.
