If the user wants to perform modeling simply, it is easy to create a contact between a flexible link body and entities (Track (LM)) with the Geo Contact.
The action body of the Geo Contact must be the flexible link body.
When the user defines contact surface for all geometries, for solving speed up, it is better defining each contact case by case.
•Contact cases between a sprocket and a track link. Refer to Contact between a Sprocket and Track Links.
•The track link pin – the teeth surface of a sprocket. (Major contact case)
•The inner surface of a track link – the teeth side of a sprocket.
•Single flange. Refer to Contact between a Single Flange and Track Links.
•The top surface of a track link – the wheel surface of single flange. (Major contact case)
•The outer surface of a track link – the flange of single flange.
•Double flange. Refer to Contact between a Double Flange and Track Links.
•The top surface of a track link – the wheel surface of a double flange. (Major contact case)
•The outer surface of a track link – the outer flange of a double flange.
•The inner surface of a track link – the inner flange of a double flange.
•Center flange. Refer to Contact between a Center Flange and Track Links.
•The top surface of a track link – the wheel surface of a center flange. (Major contact case)
•The inner surface of a track link – the inner flange of center flange.
•Flat type flange. Refer to Contact between a Flat Type Flange and Track Links.
•The top surface of a track link – the wheel surface of a flat type flange.
•Guard. Refer to Contact between a Roller Guard and Track Links.
•The side surface of a track link pin – the inner surface of a roller guard.
•Ground
•The surface of road data (or ground surface) - the outer surface of a track link grouser.
