Reply To: Hertz contact simulation (cylinder on flat)

[s310413]

Hi peteroznewman, I think you guess the problem. Actually I was trying to replicate a paper in which the author uses a 2D simulation and selecting plain strain. So I chose plain strain getting 1038 MPa as you said. So do you have any suggestion to get 328 MPa in a 2D simulation or the only way is a 3D simulation? Thanks
