However, I am encountering an issue where, as the plane slides along the curved surface, the gap between the surfaces increases unexpectedly. This leads to a change in the contact status to &#8220;no contact,&#8221; which affects the accuracy of my simulation.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could anyone advise on the correct contact settings for this type of interaction? Specifically, I&#8217;m unsure how to handle the sliding behavior and gap formation. Any tips on improving contact stability or preventing loss of contact would be greatly appreciated.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/04-10-2024-1728015928-contact_problem.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"587\" height=\"207\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/04-10-2024-1728015998-mceclip0.png\" width=\"263\" height=\"280\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/04-10-2024-1728016033-mceclip1.png\" width=\"196\" height=\"226\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/04-10-2024-1728016081-mceclip2.png\" width=\"263\" height=\"386\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance for your help!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-388075","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansyscontact-1","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-curved-surface-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["417954","58821","185782"],"_bbp_author_ip":["14.241.43.179"],"_btv_view_count":["212"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["388075"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["58821","185782","417954"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["389805"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["389805"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-10-15 13:26:57"]},"test":"eae91311a53208f50bbc24b63ed58996975a1d41"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/388075","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\/388075\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
