Hi there!! I asking a big help. I doing my master thesis with MSC Patran/Nastran and it consists in a non linear analysis because there are contact and plastic deformation. About contact I had any problem, i have been working for 1 month for that!!! I have already read the manual about this argument and I understand so much but i have problem yet! I make screenshots for each step with a very easy example for understand well this analysis. I attached the powerpoint with screenshots!!!!
I can try to do a very easier example with a circle and a rectangle, all in 2D for analyze better the contact. And as you can see, the penetration about the circle and the other shell it is evident. With your example I don't understand because the sphere doesn't went aginst cylinder.
