Hi, I'm making a stiffness verification of the present swaybar and I'm getting a completely different result in terms of motion when I change the bonded contact to frictional contact. I didn't expected a big diference in terms of the displacement much less in terms of different motion. When I supress the contact, (Frictional or Bonded) I got an error related to a node that in presented in the center of the middle bar. 
Someone can explain the reason for both ?

Hi,

Can you share the images separately? I am not able to see the values nor the error message which you are getting.

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you try applying remote displacement instead of remote force?

Hi Ashish,
Thanks for the support. The results looks logic however I don't understand why it doesn't work with force. Do you know the reason ?

Thanks for the update. Please see if the following thread helps you: Inputting displacement to get reaction force results work but not the other way (ansys.com)

Hi Ashish,

I got it. thanks for the support.
