This rigid surface is not modelled geometrically.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;So, the surface scoped for compression only support can be assumed to be in a frictionless contact with a rigid body. It can slide and separate, but not go through the rigid surface.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you select the walls of the hole for this support, it will be modelled as if a rigid pin with zero tolerance is inserted inside the hole.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More information on compression-only support can be found in the following links:&lt;br&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/public\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/\/\/\/\/\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v242\/en\/wb_sim\/ds_Pinned_Cylinder.html\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">17.6.3.6.
