there are some contact problems, hope to get some help. I did a model which is two cylinders cross each other and the contact part range from a point to a surface, so here comes my questions:
1. the contact geometry is rigid or flexible ? How can I set these ?
2. How to set the value of the contact pressure and what is the meaning of the contact pressure ? Please give me some suggestion. Does it have a direction?
3.what is the meaning of the "boundary load" in the "pair" branch?
4.how to determine the direction of the "boundary load" in the "solid mechanics" branch
