For some reason the forced frictional sliding contact is not recognized. In the Solver Output data, the connection remains open or inactive for the entire analysis. If I change the forced frictional sliding contact to no separation (keeping the pinball radius the same) then the contact is recognized and I can get force reaction results from a force reaction probe. So why isn&#8217;t the forced frictional sliding contact active when the no separation is? The friction coefficient is set to 0.2 and restitution factor is 0.8<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/01-11-2022-1667311869-Capture.JPG\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-239334","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-rigid-dynamics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["183555","33"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.74.191"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["876"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["239334"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["33","183555"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["240415"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["240415"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-11-10 18:25:14"]},"test":"ericmergen"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/239334","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":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/239334\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
