Contact doesn't suit me.

Look. I have rubber between two plates 1 and 2.

1.In the first step, the rubber is pulled to the left and all three parts (1 and 2 and the rubber are fixed), the bonded contact connects the rubber by the plane (highlighted in red).

2.In the second step, I need to remove the fixation from these three parts, and then the rubber will begin to move to the left, but at the same time it should pull plates 1 and 2 with it. When the rubber is stretched in the first step, it will become flat and the bonded contact will be lost (highlighted red).

So I need to find a way so that in the second step, when the fixation on the rubber and plates is removed, the rubber will drag the plates with it.
