Contact Penetration Fixing

Contact Penetration/Crossed edge Fixing

PRIMER can help fix initial penetrations and crossed edges in contact surfaces.

This capability can be invoked via the penetration checker window accessed via:

CHECK (from Tools ) > RULES
CONTACT > PEN_CHECK
CONTACT > CREATE/EDIT, PEN_CHECK

If contact is defined with exempt part set (SURFATYP = 6) crossed edges may be removed by moving elements to exempt part

For treating solid bodies Move x-edge elems to exempt part may be called iteratively

Parts can be protected from swap by inclusion in part set with a special name
