Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum in the sense that I have never launched new discussions but I still follow you for a long time (in fact I don't even know if this is the right place in which to open a new discussion and I apologize if I was wrong
).
I use it from not very ansys and I am trying to impractice myself from self-taught, and I go to explain to you my doubt that the title from partially explanation.
I am carrying out a thermal analysis of a polypropylene component (of which I attach an image) using the static structural module; I'm simulating thermal expansion as if the piece was "lapped" on a plane, so free to deform in all directions.
the doubt that comes to me is whether the flow due to the expansion of this component on the surface below should be simulated only thanks to a type contact no separation (which allows 2 degrees of freedom along the floor) or I still have to use a type support frictionless, which in the same way binds the only movement in normal direction to the plane.
Moreover, more generally, the various support that I can set up during simulation, are they substituting constraints or are they working parallel to them? to understand, the use of one, excludes the other?
It is probably a banal question, but being at first I would need to understand the logic of the program.
thank you in advance for the answers!
