Hi, Mr. / Miss

 

as of complexity of my model (static structural), I turned off the function of <<>> in workbench option, as graphics1, but when I update geometry and rerun, there is still some auto detected contacts.

 

any one can save me from the boring feature, thanks a lot.

 

Andy.

Andy,

Have you set "Generate Automatic Connection on Refresh" to No?

Hi, Sandeep,

thank you buddy.

Hi Andy,

I prefer to permanently turn this automatic behavior off, for any new model, so I never have to deal with the problem.

You do that in Workbench, Tools > Options... select Mechanical from the list, then uncheck Auto Detect Contact on Attach.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi, Peter,

 

the first time I checked the options, I turned it off, , but still auto contact pairs added.

 

this issue didn't solved until Sandeep's comments, set "Generate Automatic Connection on Refresh" to No. I don't know how the two options combines, but now it worked, with both of them turned off.

 

thank you

Hi Sandeep, 

how comes I cannot manage to find this option? 

I also tried what Peter suggested but as for Andy, contact pairs are still added automatically during an update. I am using R19.1 Rigid Body Dynamics but I could not find the disabling option in Static Structural either.

Thanks for the help and kind regards,

Adam
