    I am trying to run an annalysis on a transfer case that i have designed but
    i am having issues with the transmission of the forces through one of the
    splines. It only is showing that one of the spline contact surfaces is
    carrying all of the force which leads to failure. what is the best way to
    get around this? As it is i am using a contact set that was created by
    selecting both parts and letting cosmos generate it. Thanks for any help.

    Ok realized what i did wrong, I had only defined one of the surfaces of the
    spline for the contact gap set. Now with all selected it is working as I
    expected.

    looks like a previous post did not make it to the server. I did figure out
    what the problem was. When I defined the gap and spacing between the two
    parts I thought by selected the appropriate mates in the side bar was all
    that was needed. Instead just the one surface was linked causing the issue
    that all the force was being transmitted through a single spline. Thanks
    for reading though and trying to help me out.
