Contact Modeling of Solids in FEM Analysis
Illustration of contact conditions in solids within an FEM analysis with special surface interactions.
The image shows the use of the "Contact" solid type to model the interactions between adjacent solids. This technique is used in FEA to correctly predict the behavior of connected structures under loads. Contact solids allow for realistic simulations of contact and friction conditions. They are important for the accuracy of simulation models, especially in complex systems where unpredictable movements can occur.
