Hi I am havin some issues with a model I am trying to run. I have got it working with bonded contacts but for some reason I can’t get it to work with frictional contact. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am working in transient structural, what I am trying to do it apply a force in steps to the cylinder object and make it colide with a gripper finger to see how it deforms and the forces apply along the finger. I need the force as it is important for my study. And the frictional is important as we are trying to simulate what it will be like in the real world. Everytime I try to run, no matter what I have tried to change the cyclinder just passses straight through the finger. I have the initial contact info set up, with the contact being near open. I have play around with the pinball radius and that didn’t work either. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have tried both making the target surface the finger and the cylinder, but neither has worked. I am unsure what I am doing wrong, and would love some advice on where to go from here.<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n
