Question:
What is the fastest way to create a contact between two surfaces?
Answer:
In RFEM 5, a contact solid was required to create a contact between two surfaces. In RFEM 6, this can be done using a surface contact:
1) Define a surface contact type: Either in the Data navigator under "Types for special objects" or directly within the surface contact under "Special objects" → "Surface contact"; see Image 01.
2) Assign the corresponding surfaces and surface contact type to the surface contact; see Image 02.
