Hello everyone,

I am getting some inconsistent response from the contact interaction between two surfaces (specifically the "rubber-mortar interface"). I have assigned a very low tensile resistance to this contact surfaces (0.01 MPa, specified through Damage-normal only), but when I look at the analysis results (CPRESS) we get high tensile stresses transmitted through them (e.g. -4.109e-01MPa in figure below), while these should not exceed 0.01MPa in tension.

Can you please help with this?

Thank you

Alessandra
