As shown on the attached picture, the lid of the container is automeshed, but refined on the surfaces of the top and the bottom parts. Yes, I'm planning to distribute the load over a contact patch, but this has not been done at this stage in the process.

I've tried varying the loads, but as I'm trying to simulate a car running over, it limits the loads that can be applied. I'm sure plate thickness and material strength would alter the results, bit I'm running simulations on a already designed product. I don't have access to the results at this...

The entire model was automeshed. I've also tried several different meshes. Yes, I'm quite sure the top surface was pushed through. I've played around with several different contacts, but I can't seem to make the program understand that the top surface should "connect" to the bottom surface as...

I'm currently working on my bachelor's thesis in mechanical engineering. A part of my thesis is conducting a FEM-analysis on a sump for sewage. I've applied a load on the upper face of the lid for the sump. As a result, the upper layer of the lid has been "pushed through" the lower layer of...
