In my wheel and shaft connection, I can not get the solution for contact tools. I have no error message why it might be. How could I solve the issue and get the results?

(Let me know if further information is needed)

Hi Durgesh, 
Is this issue related to this model specific only or it’s happening with every model?

Hello,

 

Workbench 2021 R1

[Sampat Kumar]

Hi 
Have you installed any other, newer, or older version of Ansys on the same system and tested it? Is this issue related to the other version as well?

Have you tried to clear %appdata% and %temp% data in your system for this specific version? 

Use the following link to get help of clearing %appdata% and similarly clear %temp% data.

Hi, Durgesh Pandey

I have observed this kind of issue before and i have noticed that whenever there is Problem with licensing the contact tool won't work, try checking the license once, or it might be Flexnet issue.

Hi Durgesh, 
Are you able to run your model and able to retrieve any results without generating the contact information in the contact tool? 

Regards, 
Sampat

[Durgesh Pandey]

yes, I can get results without contact information but I can not control my interference contact without this information. So, i run program control for the pinball radius/region

[Sampat Kumar]

Can you uncheck the distributed solve just for the contact and try to generate the contact tool information?

Sampat

Hi Durgesh Pandey

Can you please right-click the Connections object and Insert a 'Solution Information'.  Then generate the initial contact and post the top of the resulting solution information.  

Also at the very top of WB Mechanical the license checked out should be given in brackets [].  What license was checked out?

Mike

[Durgesh Pandey]

Here is the solution information

 

I am not sure about the license part. Are you talking about this?

[Mike Rife]

 

Hi Durgesh Pandey

Regarding the WB Mechanical license in the [] – here is a screenshot that is (hopefully) clearer than my description:

 

There is a service pack for the Structures 2021 R1 installation that fixes this licensing issue with the contact tool.  Since you seem to be a “regular customer” by the fact that you show a Mechanical Premium license available please have your system administrator download and install that service pack.
