Contouring Panel Gaps for Sliding Contact
Contouring Panel Gaps for Sliding Contact
Penetration check module is now capable of contouring gaps in a user defined range between panels. Three modes are available. In gap thickness mode the function becomes a function which removes gaps.
|
gap thickness - will contour the gap between SURFA (tracked) side nodes and SURFB (reference) side shells for surface-surface contact. In single surface contact every node is treated as a tracked node. |
|
edge gap thickness - as above but will only consider tracked nodes on shells on a free edge |
|
node distance - measures the distance of each tracked node to mid-plane of its reference segment and reports cases where the distance is less than the user specified value. This test is independent of contact thickness |
