Hi Experts
I was making an assembly to do the stress analysis in inventor. Just wanted to know a little bit deep about defining contacts.
At the moment, the contacts has been defined by using "automatic contacts". But the way assembly has been constrained has got 42 interferences and I expect some gap between some of the components (less than 1 mm because that's how it is welded).
So, what I am looking for is some guidance regarding
1. What are the thump rules for defining contacts ?
2. What are the thump rules to be followed while modelling for best results ?
3. What issues will arise in my 42 interference story above and what is the reason for that (from FEM point of view) ?
Thanks
Basil
