Hi,

I was trying to simulate a contact problem. It didn't work so I wanted to try some simple example first. As shown in the attached image, two boxes are in contact initially. The touching surfaces are defined as contact pair.

Fixed constraint is applied to the bottom of the big box, while the top surface of the small box is subject to a compression load. A contact pair BC is also defined. Full details can be found in the attached comsol file.

Would you please have a look at the model and help me figure out what are the issues that make the simulation not work?

Thanks
