Workbench Target-Contact in different versions

cyrusIII · September 18, 2016, 11:51

I ran an analysis in workbench 16 but for the same analysis, I had to flip the contact and targets in workbench 17. I was wondering if Ansys has changed its conventions? The help for both the 16 and 17 version looks the same. Also, I need some examples on how you decide a surface should be target or contact. I know there are some guidelines for that in the help but in some cases, they were contradictory especially for complicated problems.
Thank you
