Total Number of Contact Forces Is Very Large
Condition
The number of loads due to motion contacts is greater than 18,000.
Cause 1
There is a large number of individual force vectors due to motion contacts acting on the part.
Remedy
Cause 2
There is a large number of summed force vectors due to motion contacts acting on the part.
Remedy
- Try limiting the number of forces by enabling the Time Range option in the Run Part Analysis or Run Part Optimization window and restricting the time interval.
- Alternatively, you can try reducing the Motion Contact > Resolution setting in the Property Editor for the part. This requires rerunning the motion analysis.
- Another option is to divide your geometry into smaller regions by using the Partition tool, and define the motion contacts using the partitions instead.
- Review the Best Practices for Motion Contacts topic for additional ideas.
