Dear all,
I am modeling a spring-mass-damper system moving on a surface of a beam using contact pair.

In case of straight beam, I applied an initial velocity for the moving system, and the model was successfully solved.

However, in case of curved beam, I really donnot know how to let the spring-mass-damper system move in curved direction.

By the way, when I tested the initial condition with ROTY, no thing happened!?!?

Any recommendation is really appreciated.

Many thanks,

Bridge
