Hi guys,
I am currently trying to solve a problem with my 3 point bending setup. I designed a hybrid composite structure with 3D elemtents as core and 2D elems as Laminate. To apply the load I have modelled a 2D Impactor which moves down and translates the forces into the laminate via contacts. (MORIENT: Norm, S2S, TRACK: finite)
Everything works fine exept my results... if I view the contact forces Optistruct would give me the result as shown in the picture.

Has anyone had this problem before?
I have already tried using CNTSTB and defining the SRCHDIS. Changing Master and Slave or N2S and S2S did not help either. At some values the two lines of contact forces would move closer to each other but never close enough.
