However, I am facing an issue where the impactor is sliding through the target without making an actual impact.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Video of simulation:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;h3 data-pm-slice=&#8221;1 1 []&#8221;&gt;<strong>https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/7pb7WL7<\/strong>&lt;\/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead of deforming upon impact, the impactor appears to pass through the target as if no collision is occurring. The deformation plot does not show expected stress distribution or energy absorption at the contact interface.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/07-03-2025-1741338823-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p data-pm-slice=&#8221;1 1 []&#8221;&gt;I would appreciate any insights from those who have tackled similar issues.
