contacts with ansys

[stralis89]

hello to all, I am a mechanical engineering student, I am conducting a simulation that concerns the correct tightening of a shovel with an arm both in cast iron, among these two bodies, however, has an aluminum plate that serves to "absorb" the superficial imperfections, in reality this with bolt lock deforms. When I admit the model in ansys, if I impose a binding contact between plate and blade the simulation turns, but I understand that this is not the most appropriate contact. would someone be so kind to recommend the right contact? Thank you in advance.

design? ....with maybe the applied forces and constraints....if you used a bonded (linear) you can try to see what happens with a frictionless (nonlinear)....and then in case the frictional..but in the meantime you see how convergence goes with the frictionless.. .
