Hi,
I tried the Boolean tool, but I do not have the Parasolid Modeling license, so it is not available... Anyway, thank you for your answer...
Any other idea?
Hi,
The geometry I’m trying to mesh is made by two different solids (see attached file). My question is: how can I make Patran understand that these two solids are just one body? Or how can I unite them?
In the way I’m working, Patran is making two different meshes and the nodes don’t match...
The parameters that I can control are the distance tolerance of the contact detection and the separation force/stress (that I think is more relevant, but I’m afraid of lose accuracy in the solution). Would you recomend any value?
Can other parameters, like time steps make any difference in the...
Hi,
I am performing a contact analysis using MSC Marc 2010 and Patran 2010. During the analysis, as I look the .log file I can see a large number of messages “recycling increment due to separation”. As separation results in additional iterations (which leads to higher costs), I would like to...

Good afternoon,
I’m trying to model a riveted joint under traction in Patran/Nastran using tet4 elements. First I tried to fix all the DOFs in one side of the joint and put a force in the other side. Ok, no problem. Then I decided to fix also all the DOFs in the force’s side of the joint...
