Hello,
I ran an assembly simulation; pretty simple: two parts together with some contact areas. I tried first using global contact and h-adaptive method with success; no surprise yet. But then, I switched to no penetration contact. When I click run, nothing happens. No message, no reaction, nothing.
I thought my model could be problematic so I tried again with a simpler model, to bars overlapping. Same parameters and again bang: no reaction from the run button. If I switch back to a non adaptive method, all is working fine. If I try the p-adaptive method (I'm troubleshooting) I get the "Contact analysis is not supported by the P-method."
I really don't get what turn I missed. Is there a known incompatibility between no penetration contact and the h-adaptive method?
I am still working on solving this one.
I rebooted (just to make sure).
I started from a fresh simple model again, but without trying the global model first. So I use no penetration and h-adaptive with 5 loops. The simulation ran once and then stopped. And not because I reached the accuracy.
Then I tried something else. My initial condition was set by a flat face allowed to move. (Advanced Fixtures) I deleted this fixture and replaced it by force and it worked. So there seems to be something going wrong between the flat face fixture, the no penetration contact and the h-adaptive method.
