Now create two sections – one called Steel_linear and one called
Steel_NonLinear
Create a static general step and include Nlgeom and automatic stabilisation.
Contacts are defined by individually selecting faces for the master and slave
surfaces as shown below.
Since we know the distance which we want to load application part to travel we
shall apply a displacement to its top face. This becomes particularly useful when
trying to determine the force required to assemble two latching parts or the force
required to cause a certain amount of deflection or travel on a component.
Apply a 35mm displacement to the top face of the central part in the vertical
direction. This will be applied as a linear increment as the analysis progresses.

Seed the beam with 2mm hex elements and the remaining parts 3mm hex. Mesh
each part.
Whilst
hilst the solution is running monitor its progress
To unload the component we need to modify the displacement that loaded the
model in Step-1. 1. Open th
thee boundary condition and modify the 35mm
displacement to 0mm.
