ahmad Hi, This is general question and I am mostly an ANSYS user. My question is that lets say we have two parts that are not in contact initially then we move them to approach each other and at some point they come to contact. Can Code Aster handle such problem? i.e. parts are not initially in contact and then they come to contact. Also, I appreciate if you could direct me to an example. Thank You, Ahmad
jeanpierreaubry hello of course it is possible, why should not it be? one example in my first book, link in my signature jean pierre aubry
cacciatorino Try to have a look here: https://forum.code-aster.org/public/d/13707-solved-what-is-the-best-practise-of-contact-with-an-initial-gap Keep in mind that it is a very old discussion: the syntax of some commands could be changed in newer relseases of code-aster.
