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.

Regarding the topic of Linear Gaps, I was also wondering how this will influence your model with respect to boltforces. In fact I have two identical models. One model is modelled with linear gaps and the other one with contacts. The output for the boltforces seems to be completely different. Of course the modelling of the bolts could be incorrect, but I was wondering if one models this in a correct way, if it is then possible to compare a model with contacts with a model with linear gaps (of course non-linear behavior is not included in both models)?
