Reply To: Hertz contact simulation (cylinder on flat)

If the physical problem has a 10 mm depth with a 185N normal force, and you build a Plane Strain model that has a 1 mm depth, the force in that 2D model should be in N/mm or a value of 18.5 N/mm and then you will get 328 MPa of contact pressure.
