User initiates query involving contact deformity in ANSYS Transient Structural System, a simulation-based platform that allows users to investigate complex engineering dynamics within the framework of statics. Contact issues can significantly complicate such analyses, necessitating precise definition and consideration for the accuracy of outcomes. 1- Definition and Resolution: The User first establishes contact deformation criteria with an associated penalty factor by defining boundary conditions in accordance with application specific data from either predefined fields or those defined manually. To facilitate interaction detection within transient cases a sliding interface approach is taken using friction factors adjusted to ensure non-sliding as required. 2- Impact Analysis Impact responses can also be modelled based on given force over time (Force over Time) profiles allowing users to analyze contact effects due to shock events occurring under dynamic scenarios and evaluate consequences for components subject to varying load conditions throughout its operation lifecycle. For this particular functionality, both ANSYS 2018 R1 release has brought forward a more streamlined version which is relatively stable with lower requirements for setup adjustments compared prior.
