00_Checking multiple contact points at once

In RecurDyn, you can define the contact points between two bodies and simulate the contact forces applied to the defined points. ]

In addition, you can use the Geo Contact function to define multiple contact points on the surfaces where contact occurs and display the simulation results in a graphical representation or data plot.  


To define the contact points with the Geo Contact function and check the contact forces, perform the following steps:


Step 1.

On the Professional tab, in the Contact group, click the Geo Contact icon.
