Question

"Interface" defined measures are ignored during a nonlinear analysis with plasticity

Hello!

I am running a model of a bolted connection between 3 parts. Since CREO does not allow the use of the "Fastener" feature for 3 parts, I defined bonded surfaces to simulate the contact between parts. I also defined non-linear materials in order to evaluate plastic behavior of the system. 

When a bonded surface is defined in CREO, the program automatically creates measures for the interface forces. However, CREO only shows the interfaces measures when I run a static linear analysis (ignoring plasticity).

Is there a workaround to be able to see interface measures when running a non-linear analysis with plasticity?

 

Thanks!
