Contact interface issue on Creo Simulate 6

[LR_8377518]

I am using Creo Simulate Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0

A contact interface with infinite friction on a pin allows material compenetration and gives skewed deformation results. I tried switching from component-component to surface-surface but reached the same results. The issue happens on a particular pin in a specific location, so I tried to delete and re-create the interface but no changes. The geometry is correctly highlighted in yellow on "review geometry" and the mesh completes without problems. Any Ideas on why it is happening?

a very fine mesh is required for good results (att. example) of a contact analysis

is your picture shwowing a mesh ? not sure it does 😉

[skunks]

no 😀 (very very fine mesh...)

It worked! I reduced the mesh minimum element size by two order of magnitude and the interface started behaving normally. Thank you very much!
