Hi everyone,
Sorry about the late response. I originally created this assembly as practice because I’m new to Creo Simulate. In this case, I was particularly interested in improving my understanding of multistep analyses and problems that involve contact.
Charles - thank you for your excellent explanation of what would really be going on in this problem. At this time, I’m just trying to practice and learn more about multistep problems and contact problems, but if I ever need to return to this case, I’ll try your suggestions.
I might post another discussion with different questions about multistep analyses soon.
Thank you,
Steven
