Connections

What is the difference between connection types?

Why are the part contact conditions in "Review part contact condition" different from the contact tree connections?

The review part contact conditions display the contact conditions specific to the selected subcase. In contrast, the project tree shows the default contact conditions for all connections within the model. When a subcase does not have any custom contact conditions defined, both the review section and the project tree will present the same contact conditions.

Is it possible to create connections between spots?

SimSolid allows creating virtual connections between spots.

Is it possible to apply spring/dampers connections?

Yes, this is allowed via shock absorbers virtual connections.

Is it possible to create press-fit simulations?

Yes, can be performed using align contact condition or using a separating-closing contact which always resolves any penetrations.

What type of solids can represent adhesives?

SimSolid allows converting cylindrical shaped parts to adhesives.
