And just like this contact seems to work, I am very happy about this. I am wondering what i have been doing wrong all the time. 

Now a new question arises, as this ball hits the plate and deforms it the speed of the ball stays constant why is the speed of the ball not decreasing? This time i have not applied the speed using the initial conditions but i used the "velocity" boundary condition. This is probably the reason that the speed is constant, but i want the best of both worlds. I want to be apply this velocity at the start and have it decrease do to the deformation of the plate.

Can anyone help me with this question ?
