We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Please refer to 'Fundamentals of Contact' Course in our Ansys Innocation Space for details in how to set up contact.  /courses/index.php/courses/fundamental-topics-in-contact/

For convergence stability, make sure your initial contact status is closed prevent rigid body motion.  Also,if possible, it is probably best to apply a displacement based load to induce the bending, instead of a force based load.
