How can avoid penetration of contact surfaces in ansys apdl, Contacts were created in Hypermesh.

When we twist a bar inside a slot bar had contact on slot walls. Problem is bar is penetrating inside the wall. How to avoid. Contacts were made in Hypermesh, analysis done in ansys apdl.

Why am I getting deflection after applied zero force in ansys transient analysis during elastic stage instead of zero deflection?

I did multiple load steps with ansys transient, after some time when i applied zero force, my model gives some deflection, but within elastic limit, i think that deflection (DMX) should be zero,...

Does a space group change via centering translation will give an additional peak in the XRD?

Centering translation does not reduce the no of symmetry elements. only position of symmetry elements varies Ex P63 /mmc to P63 /mcm.
