Compression test

I would like to simulate a compression test with an analytical rigid body (velocity) and a specimen with an encastre bottom.
The arrow on the reference point indicates the correct direction of velocity.
In the first time step the rigid body seems to slide on the surface of the specimen. There is no movement to the direction of the specimen. The second thing which is problematic is that there's only a movement in the first time step.
