Contact-type constraints can be created between two directed surfaces. Directed means that an internal side and an external side can be defined from a geometrical element, a face of a pad for example. This definition excludes surface element and wireframe surface because they are not directed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The common area between the two elements can be a plane (plane contact), a line (line contact), a point (point contact) or a circle (annular contact). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table shows the elements you can select for a contact constraint. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Important: The contact constraint is resolved using the
mathematical and unlimited definition of the selected geometries and not
the selected geometries themselves. Due to this definition, the contact
constraint is not necessarily positioned according to the selected
geometries, and can be |
