Subject: snap-fit analysis
Author: Vijaykumar Ramalingam

Dear Gurus,

I am trying to simulate snap-fit of 2 parts. The contact part
stiffness is about 13 times lesser than that of target. I am
using plane 42 and contact 48. I could not get
convergence if I increase stiffness and over-penetration, if I
reduce the KN value.

I am apllying displacement to the part by keeping other part surface
constrained.

What could be the problem?

Thanks and reagrds
Vijay
