I have setup the simulation as per below images (The geometry is a single part). In the results, the final deformation is more than the initial gap between the 2 surfaces. Yet I couldn&#039;t see any stress on the 2nd surface (In the 4th image the stress is in MPa). 1st surface is actually penetraring the 2nd but still there is no force transfer. <\/p>\n<p>Is there any setting for that. Please help.<\/p>\n<p>Please let me know if I need to provide more information.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/356\/9ZW0N0Y03DC6.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/356\/9ZW0N0Y03DC6.png\" alt=\"Capture1.PNG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-165919","topic","type-topic","status-answered","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["2774"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["246748"],"_bbp_topic_status":["answered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["165919"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["58821","246748"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["203988"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["203988"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-02-01 11:54:08"]},"test":"saumitramjgmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":434810,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165919\/revisions\/434810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
