Create midsurface of comp and use hm_getsurfacethicknessvalues to return thickness values at some fixed points of midsurface Compare the values and assign it.

Provide last folder path to -initialdir of that openfileentry widget

View sample scripts in (intalled dir)/hm/scripts Many useful commands and procs are there

What is the error info?

Pls describe more detail

How's about output commands in command.tcl file?

Scale down the time step. High speed impact needs small time step. If a rocket flying to you at 200m/s, you must displace faster (shoter time) than in case of a bike moving 10m/s, otherwise you'll bloom!

Recheck material input data.

They (software developers) don't merge those 2 cards because some features just need one of them. It is about data organization, i think so.

Contact force is calculated based on penetration so i think penetration is must. For stress result, pls try increasing the force on plate.

I see some posts about output k matrix of full model only Can you calculate element k matrix from it shape and properties?

I have a tip in this case (I already got this problem in a real project, and find out this way ) 1. Preview equivalence nodes in comp1 only, you find some nodes 2. Bind above nodes by a rigid (to prevent them from next equivalence) 3. Do steps 1 and 2 with comp2 only 4. Now you can equivalence both comps, because each comp cannot equivalence it self (rigid elems prevent this) 5. Delete 2 rigids

Panel 2d>spin can help?

They are all to bind structure But solver computes binding characteristics differently. Refer to corresponding solver card of them

In panel 1d>bars ax ay az bx by bz are beam section offset values
