Hello Zhao,

The sliding energy and contact force should indicate if the contact  is the issue or not. If the contact  is the issue, try the following:

  • I don't have much experience with forming contacts. But, I would try SOFT=2 (segment based contacts), SBOPT=3, and DEPTH=35. If it does not work better, try the *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE with these settings instead.
  • Reduce the bucket sort frequency.
  • Reduce TSSFAC

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Reno.
