Reply To: Multi-stage simulation under cold forming using Transient Structural

If the symmetry conditions include the face that is scoped in Displacement 2, then you can delete Displacement 2, but it does no harm.

In the Frictionless Contact, under Geometric Modification, Interface Treatment you have Adjust to Touch. That causes the geometry to move around in unpredictable ways at the start of each simulation. I suggest you use the setting of Add Offset, No Ramping with an offset value of 0 and do this for all 5 simulations.
