GoEngineer SOLIDWORKS Simulation Webinar - Contactless is Soooo 2020

In SOLIDWORKS Simulations, we need to understand how to utilize our geometric parts and how our surfaces interact with each other. Whether we have incidents of touching vertices or lines with planes and other surfaces or simulating solid bodies and assemblies, Contact Sets and Component Contacts play a critical role in ensuring our results are accurate. Furthermore, we can over-define our contacts and create false rigidity especially when we consider which fixtures to define for our load cases! In this webinar, brought to you by GoEngineer, we will discuss the different scenarios with a relatively simple hinge model.
