Document Summary

Now the x direction for ex is pointed radially outward. Cylindrical coordinate system shown in bottom right. Using the probe tool, can probe the contact faces and determine the value of the contact stress. The displacement scale is 1, as seen in the upper left box. Shows how to setup a study where a large deformation is anticipated. Need to be multiple bodies or assembly to establish contact positions. Blue and pink faces prevents being in contact. Explains the results of the large displacement analysis and modifies the setup to improve accuracy. Right-click on study >> properties >> tick large displacement box. Maybe up to 20 min for simple clip. Provides an overview about using connectors to simulate actual components. If area surrounding pin connection is of little relevance to your problem, recommend replacing it with simulation connector. A rigid connector can be used in place of a component that cannot be expected to deform during loading.
