I'm simulating an interaction between an edge (discrete rigid) and a cuboid sensor (soft material, read pressure value of each element). There is only one step: indent the edge on the sensor. But in the results, there is no deformation of the sensor pad and the pressure distribution cannot be observed. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks.

An illustration of the interaction is attached to this post.

I have simulated the interaction between a cylinder/flat and the sensor, but there were no such problem. weird:(
