Clamp simulation with contact

[gfraulini]

Hi folks,
here the little simplified assembly in creo 8.0.9.

I tried to simulate with Simulate the effect over a stator of a clamp.
The program gives to me always the error "Creo Simulate could not generate elements for all of the
entities in the model"
I've just tried to mesh the single parts and it works. The problem is only in the assembly with the part of the stator. I tried also:

• without the symmetry
• with different fixing
• fixing all the dof for better numerical stability
• without contact interface

I don't know where I'm going wrong.

Proposal attached

It seems that the problem is the Mesh option "prismatic" over the stator part. How can I control the prismatic elements dimensions? The normal controls to di this operation see don't work.

Would you like to do this?

This works if you delete all AGEM controls. You are asking for pretty small elements.
