Abstract: In this paper we show that if a compact set

E s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{d}

,

d g e q 3

, has Hausdorff dimension greater than

f r a c (4 k - 1) 4 k d + f r a c 14

when

3 l e q d < f r a c k (k + 3) (k - 1)

or

d - f r a c 1 k - 1

when

f r a c k (k + 3) (k - 1) l e q d

, then the set of congruence class of simplices with vertices in

E

has nonempty interior. By set of congruence class of simplices with vertices in

E

we mean

Delta_{k}(E) = left { vec{t} = (t_{ij}) : |x_i-x_j|=t_{ij} ; x_i,x_j in E ; 0leq i < j leq k ight } subset mathbb{R}^{frac{k(k+1)}{2}}

where

2 l e q k < d

. This result improves our previous work in the sense that we now can obtain a Hausdorff dimension threshold which allow us to guarantee that the set of congruence class of triangles formed by triples of points of

E

has nonempty interior when

d = 3

as well as extending to all simplices. The present work can be thought of as an extension of the Mattila-Sj"olin theorem which establishes a non-empty interior for the distance set instead of the set of congruence classes of simplices.
