Problem Statement
To investigate how to conduct a contact analysis with two bodies that have
different mesh densities, this problem will include a mounting bracket that has
a coarse mesh and a loading block that is more finely meshed. The mounting
bracket has a fixed boundary condition of 0 on its left face. The loading block
has a force on its right face pushing it a total displacement of .003 inches into
the mounting bracket.

each other. Note also that no
contact table (BCTABLE) is
present.

j. When the block is displayed
it should have the solid
sphere markers as shown
above.
