Distorting elements

Distorting elements

Distorting elements

(OP)
Hi guys,

I'm having big time trouble analysing a soft layer being pessed together by two hard parts (contact) and then the upper part being traccioned to one side, so that friccion forces act between the layers.

The problem is, that there are up to 1000 eigenvalues and the soft layer elements are distorting.

What can I do? I tried explicit and it calculates the problem but already the results of the pressure step (which also works in standard) is quite different from the standard solution.

Please help, it's very urgent. What can I do?
