  Hi all! I'm trying to run an Explicit Dynamics simulation but the bodies defined as 'Flexible' are going through the 'Rigid' body. There is no connection modeled or specified between the 'Flexible'and 'Rigid' bodies. How can I stop this from happening? Thank you.

  Hi
  Can you please show an image of the bodies and the contacts between the two bodies (if we do not have any contact between them then of course they will pass through each other, so we need to define a conatc if we want a contact to develop between them).
  All the best
  Erik

    Hi Erik,
    Thank you for your response. I managed to rectify the issue. The square prism that enclosed the cylindrical object when I highlighted it was making contact with the modeled ground surface. As a result, I changed the orientation of the object in SpaceClaim.
    Thank you!
