NOT Convergent Non Linear Analyis

Good evening,

I'm trying to run a simulation on a model (showed in the picture). The errors happen because of the SLIDE contact between the PIN (purple) and the CONROD (green) components. To avoid to get 'error - no convergence', I decided to put SPC on the lateral faces of the CONROD component (the green one in the picture) with only dof2 possible (so it can only translates in Y direction). Is this solution good to simulate the sliding contact between a wrist pin and a connecting rod? Or do you think that there are better solutions?

Thank you
