Bodies are not visible to each other

      Hello everyone.
      I have assembled a model of rubber deformation. The ring should press the rubber.
      I use units ms, mm, GPa.
      But during the calculation the ring does not see the rubber, passes through it and the calculation is completed in a minute.
      I used different types of contacts but nothing helped.

      I also tried to change the eleform in the SECTION section.
      I changed the calculation time and steps and many other things, but nothing helps.
      I used AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE, I also tried to use one card for all AUTOMATIC_SINGLE_SURFACE.
      How can I make the contact visible? Please help.
      I am attaching the contact settings:

      when you have your input file ready for solving, load into LSPP and do a contact check there under application--> model checking --> General Checking.   

      you also have a single surface 0 0 5, probably want to get rid of that.   If you use workbench to prepare model, turn off body interaction thing, that's turned on by default but should always be turned off.

        I did a contact check, this is what came out of it:
