Surface-To-Surface Gluing (Simcenter Samcef)

To glue two surfaces, use the Surface-to-Surface Gluing simulation object.

If you select the Automatic Pairing type, you can set a grouping option and a distance tolerance that the software uses to select the surfaces to glue. If you select the Manual type, you can manually select the surfaces to glue.

The Surface-to-Surface Gluing defines a Samcef .STICK or .PRITT command.

Select the Show Ancillary Display check box to display the ancillary view of the glue constraint in the graphics window. The software starts the Samcef gluing conditions quick solver to compute this view.

In Samcef thermal analyses, you can choose between a Perfect or Interface Conductance type of gluing:

Perfect

Classic gluing, as in structural analysis.

Interface Conductance

True thermal gluing. The conservation of the normal heat flux and heat transfer across the contact region is ensured.

Supported analysis solutions

The Surface-to-Surface Gluing simulation object is available for all structural and thermal Simcenter Samcef solutions.
