Is it possible to model contact with sofistik? something such as surface to surface contact or edge to surface contact?
Hey, I guess you can use springs or rigid bodies
Hello,
if you want to connect to structural areas you can use command SARS.
After the first meshing start new sofimshc modul with:
PROG SOFIMSHC
HEAD
SYST REST
SAR -1 $changes the setting for the structural area number 1
SARS REFT >SAR REF 3 CA 1E6 CL 100 $links sar 1 with sar 3
END
After linking you need to remesh the system:
+PROG SOFIMSHC
HEAD
SYST REST
CTRL MESH 1
…
END
Hope this helps
Best regards
