Contact Modelling; Force application

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone,

I'm a relative novice at COMSOL, so I might have made quite silly mistakes. For the attached model, there seems to be no interaction between the upper and lower sections. The upper section seems to penetrate the lower even though contact pairs have been defined.

Also, how is it possible to apply a force/displacement at a specific region on a boundary? In this case the displacement is applied on boundary 40. How will it be possible to apply a load on a part of this boundary?

Many thanks,
Nick
