Hi Ashish,

Thank you for the reply. 

I am trying to define friction between the sufrace of my structure and the ground. 

my structure looks like below. I need to define friction for bottom surfaces of the structure:

I wonder whether I have to model the ground/earch surface as well. I have these options under insert. 

 

Much appriciated if you could share your thoughts. Thank you Ashish.

 

Sincerely,

Wimukthi
