Hello,

I'm trying to solve a problem of two clips, one static and the other moving.
I want to calculate how high/low each clips bends up/down.
the set is in here:

How can I make the contact of the part supposed to bend possible and thus solve the set.
I tried to use the surface contact, but never worked kept on receiving errors messages.

Thank you :)

This is a large displacement non-linear problem so you will need to use the appropriate solver, ADVNL 601,106 (and therefore licence) for this analysis. You need to use an enforced displacement constraint rather than a force to get the movement of the clips.
