INDENTATION

Hello everybody,

I am trying to indent a cube by a clylindric probe. I set only TIE constraint without any contact property and I applied a displacement of 1 mm to the tip of the probe that is a rigid body. The simulation runs but the last frame in the .odb shows penetration of the elements of the cube in the base of the probe. Could this affect the result of the simulation? How could I avoid this? It is not coerent that an element with linear elastic material properties (the cube) penetrates a rigid body (the probe).

Thanks a lot.

Leo
