Examples for Linear Gaps modelling.

Dear all,

I would like to study some examples with linear gap elements. We don`t have SOL400 available and to have a work around for i.e. objects touching or near eachother.

Could you provide wtih some examples or give location of study material? Thanks.

Hi Ron,

If you're running Nastran 2016++, you can maintain an initial gap (aka a "virtual shim"). The initial gap (or overlap) is defined as a BCONPRG option (clearance option is invoked with the OGINGP parameter). There is an example in the 2016 Release Guide.
