Simulate contacts when one of the bodies is flexible

Marcos Salgado

Hello everyone,

I need to simulate a contact between two bodies (as shown in the attached picture). In my case, the blue body is flexible, so I can´t define the contact as a '3D Rigid to Rigid Contact'. I´ve tried different things to solve this problem, but I couldn´t get an appropriate solution.

How can I simulate this kind of contacts?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.
