We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hey, 

The choice of support is not entirely correct here, the frictionless support provides reaction forces only in +X direction (normal to the applied face). It restricts the deformation in the normal direction only. Here that support is not doing what it is meant to do. Here is the help link for understanding the frictionless support.

17.6.3.5. Frictionless Support (ansys.com)

Use this link to know about supports and types and figure out what you might need. ( i would suggest start with fixed support, get preliminaru results and then figure out what exactly is the support you need)
