Defining Frictional Contact in SimScale Simulations

Hi @sgundu,

Thanks for posting on the forum!

As Frequency/Harmonic analysis are always linear, physical contacts (which are non-linear) cannot be applied. However, if you go for a Dynamic analysis instead, you’d be able to apply the same sorts of loads used in an harmonic study and use physical contacts (those allow for friction definition - see here).

Best,
Igor
