Re: Contact analysis questions
How are the contact-pairs defined in your model? I don't have 3.0, so I can't check you files. You could also try adjusting the configuration parameter "sim_contact_penetration" and see if that helps.

Hello everyone, does anyone know whether creo simulate 3.0 has any type of element birth and death mesh capabilities? I know other fea software can limit a part's mesh to a stiffness of nearly 0 as...

If I recall correctly, you can defined a function for the Young's Modulus that is dependent on temperature. In you material properties definition box, right-click on the property and see if the pop-up...

Outline of model
Good Morning, Does anyone know of an easy way to take the outline of a model to use as a sketch so I can calculate the area of an entire face of a model? I am trying to compute wind loads and I need...
View ArticleRe: Simulate Lite Fake Out
Short answer, no. Long answer, no, but there might be a way to approximate a contact condition. However, I've never used Lite so I'm not sure what the limitations are.

Re: HOW TO CONDUCT LIFTING LUG ANALYSIS IN PRO-MECHANICA?
Hi Prasad, I've seen a type of triangular plate used on large bodies as lifting lugs, though I think they are welded on and not cast. I assume they are easier to cast than a more complicated shape,...

Antionius, wouldn't merging the parts still leave the empty areas needing to be filled? I would suggest simply using fill to define a closed sketch using projected edges and then measure the area.

Edit: Sorry, I misread. Yes, Antonius's method 2 would work for filling in empty space.See comment below. You should be able to easily obtain the area of an assembly or part from the cross section...

Re: Outline of model
Actually, Jeremy, your method is probably valid for assemblies if it sums the separate sectioned surfaces (I suspect it would).I forgot about that analysis feature. As for merge, the analysis of the...

Hi,I've already done the 2d axisymmetric analysis (with contact) and now I try to do the same within the 3D environment. Allow to the mesh engine the task of making the mesh is not the right way, for...
View ArticleRe: Mesh of revolution
That makes sense, but in 2D you can not, at least in Creo 2, combine plasticity, large deformations and contact. Large deformations is necessary in this case since it is a statically indeterminate...
