Hello Erik I've modified the constraints according to your indications, replacing the "Displacement" with "Remote Displacement" and forcing any rotation to zero. Moreover I've used the "Contact Tool" as per your advice. An error warning says that "You have a contact tool with invalid contact selections or result request". I dont really understand where the contact error can be, since this Contact is very simple: Frictionless Type, One surface for Contact, One surface for Target and, as I previously noted, Normal Lagrange Formulation with Asymmetric Behavior (the convex surface is the Contact side of the pair and the flat/concave surface must be the Target one). Trim Contact is OFF and a pinball radius great enough to "cover" the distance between the two surfaces.
I don't really know what corrections can be made...
Thanks again for your help and best wishes for a nice day...
