<p>Hi, In my setup I have body A with a vertical displacement and makes frictionless contact with body B. Body B will go through non-linear deformation and I would like know the reaction force caused by this deformation. The setup is similar to a solid block connected to a load cell pressing on a cantilever beam, and I would like to find the readings on the load cell.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>My question is about whether I should use: <\/p><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Geometry Selection – The face that makes the contact<\/li>\n
  2. Boundary Condition – The “Displacement”<\/li>\n
  3. Contact Region – The “Frictionless”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <p>The all give me different values and the differences are quite significant.<\/p><p> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-459325","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-mechanical"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["459325"],"_bbp_subscription":["679538","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["99.209.167.114"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["459408"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["459408"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-06-05 17:57:06"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["679538","240"],"_btv_view_count":["27"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"lewisliuamphenol-hsio-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/459325","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\/459325\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
