Assembly of soft components

Post by midou »

Hi,

is it possible to simulate with Elmer the assembly of soft components?
And if yes, then does Elmer account the physical reality? That includes the gravity, the hard contact with the workpiece and the deformation.

I have to simulate a roboter which mount a soft component to a rigid workpiece.

Thank you for your help!

Hi

If you mean by "soft component" a body where elasticic deformations need to be solved then the answer would be yes. Some test cases involving contact might be possible starting places.
