From the Connections section of the action bar, click Contact Detection.
Specify a Search domain.
By default, the app searches the whole model for contacting surfaces. You can select candidate
geometry supports by clicking individual components in the model. The app considers contact features between the selected components only. If you
select a single component, the app only considers the contact features between surfaces on the selected
component and any other contacting surfaces in the model.
For linear structural simulations, select one of the following
Structural interaction options:
Option
Description
Sliding
Allows two surfaces to move sideways with respect to each
other.
Bonded
Conjoins two surfaces permanently without the ability to move with
respect to each other.
Click Find Surface Pairs.
The dialog box lists candidate contact features for surfaces that meet
the proximity requirements. Right-click any feature to locate or delete
it.
Optional:
To change the search domain, click Find Surface Pairs
again.
Any new surface pairs found are marked by an asterisk (*) in the
table.
