Creo Simulate: Run complete with fatal error

 

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a press-fit snap feature for validation, however when I run the simulation I get the error “Run completed with fatal error”.

Following parameters are set:

Mesh:

  • Component-component interface (contact), assumed 0 friction (also attempted surface-surface contact with 0.2 COF)
  • Mesh on both parts with 1mm localized elements on snap-features (tetrahedral)

Constraints:

  • Prescribed 3mm movement in +Z direction on Part A (to push part A onto part B), fixed in X and Y direction
  • Part B constrained in XYZ direction

Material Assignments:

  • “Part A” Full-hard stainless steel
  • “Part B” Xantar 22R (PC)

Analysis Settings:

  •  

Section view of snap fit

 

Can anyone assist?

 

Many thanks.

If you have not ran this type of analysis before on the machine - check your graphic card compatibility.
