I know I want to apply a 2N force in a specific axis (z), in order to provoke the simulation. The issue I&#8217;m having is that I don&#8217;t want to define the displacement because I want the force to be the one that moves the indenter into the piece of substrate. The substrate is fixed in two of its sides. If I define a displacement as z being free, y = 0mm and x = 0mm, it says that the boundary conditions are invalid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My aim is to define a for of 2N in order to create a creep (keeping the force constant during a period in order to have a constant indentation during that time) in the indentation.
