hello,
does anyone know how to define a initial pressure for the application of the contact between two bodies. my problem is that i use two interacting surfaces which should interact in terms of friction. i try to model the adhesive compound effect more exactly and therefor do i need an initial pressure for the coloumb friction law. i tried an negative overclosure pressure model but that doesnt work.

thanks,

adrien
