We will demonstrate how to check material selections for the sphere and the rigid plate in our problem.(Vid 4 - Physics Setup Part 1)

In the following video we will demonstrate how to set up the contact interface using Frictionless Contacts.(Vid 5 - Physics Setup Part 2)

Next, we will demonstrate how to modify Analysis Settings in ANSYS to introduce substeps to our solution method.(Vid 6 - Physics Setup Part 3)

Finally, the next video shows how to apply boundary conditions, i.e. a point load at the top of the sphere and displacement constraints at the contact interface and along the axis of symmetry.(Vid 7 - Physics Setup Part 4)
