Is there any workbench model which

demonstrates the application of user defined
contact normal offset?
Problem/Description:
There are cases in which the shift direction doesn’t follow the
contact normal, how to manually control the control normal for
those applications?
Keywords:
contact, normal, offset, interference fit, large inference
Solution:
In this case, you can use the SECTYPE and SECDATA commands to
specify a user-defined contact surface normal, please check the attached
model and for more information, please refer to the following link:-

Attached model description: -

A large interference has been modelled between two components. The
fixed constraint is applied at the two ends.
