Dears,

I am facing a problem to simulate the contact element with permitting the sliding (0.15 coefficient of friction) and separation (0.5 MPa contact adhesion).

The problem is, when the frictional type was used the value of coefficient of friction only has input.

And when the confined zone was used (fracture > separation), the scope accepted only boned type.

Please give me an illustration step by step in a video or a PDF file for a simulation frictional contact element with values of friction and contact cohesion using ANSYS Workbench step by step in ANSYS 2025.

Regard
