Re: Ansys Contact Elements

You could consider the contact to be similar to that between a car and
the road. Any force going through the wheel goes directly into the road
whilst any overturning of the car would cause the wheel to leave the
road. In my analysis things are a little more simple. The analysis is
static and the crane doesnt move so there is no friction needed.

I am trying to find out what the forces are in each of the wheels and
determine if uplift occurs for a given loading.

Hope this clarifies things a little.
