Hi everyone,

does someone know how to model a contact mechanical problem between two surfaces in which one of them is considered completely rigid?

I know how to model the contact, but i´m interested on the last thing (consider one of them rigid)!

thanks
Giulio

Did you try just a high stiffness for the rigid side?

Hi

a crazy idea: Have you tried to use a RBC (rigid body connector) on the "rigid side" this should "block" the part but I'm not sure how the contact solver will behave with a rigid object like that

Good luck
