Above is the step change in displacement for the half cylinder object. Each step moves it .2mm, which I think is low enough. I am running 30 steps, and have set the min, max and initial time steps to 0.0333s, and running over 1s&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/04-09-2024-1725443392-mceclip2.png\" width=\"896\" height=\"87\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/04-09-2024-1725443443-mceclip3.png\" width=\"407\" height=\"268\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Above is my contact information, with a frictional coefficient of 0.9. I have also tried lower values like 0.5&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am running New-Raph Unsymetrical, and I have large deformations turned on. The material I am using for the two objects is PLA and TPU 95A, with a youngs modulus of 0.88 MPa, ad Poissons of 0.4 (taken from testing and online resources).&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/04-09-2024-1725443393-mceclip4.png\" width=\"264\" height=\"133\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/04-09-2024-1725443469-mceclip5.png\" width=\"257\" height=\"120\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are the errors I keep getting, and everytime I run the objects just keep passing through eachother. Any help as to why it might not be working would be greatly appreciated. I am also wondering if I am doing the right thing still by using displacement rather a force to the cylinder object to determine the force of the
