Hi,
I am not sure if what you are asking is possible in Workbench.
Not allowing frictional contact to separate goes against the real world definition of a frictional contact between two bodies. Also, No Separation contact is a linear contact, therefore friction cannot be defined for it. (Frictional contacts are nonlinear by nature.)

Maybe other forum members have some insight on this.
