Dear all,
I have two parts in abaqus / standard which are in contact but after applying the force, the other part penetrate the first one without any deformation and I have zero force everywhere(In case of using self contact).
If I use master slave, it will not converge.
Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks
Best regards
Victor
