Hello everyone,
I want to study the contact between the cylinder and those rigid bodies. I impose displacement u = -30 m/s to the nodes of cylinder and I want to see contact forces.
I didn't understand what contact forces (contact reaction) means ? is it the forces (on "y" direction) in the nodes A and D as shown in the figure ?
