Good that you got the moment reaction at the fixed support. That is how the equilibrium equations work. Yes you are thinking right, with inclined surface there is a force in two directions, Like a block sliding on a wedge, for low frictional coefficient, it will move wedge too. But again that's for single point contact. If there are two point of contacts, what do you think it will do to the wedge ?


Are you trying out these mesh methods for conical pin or the special shaped shaft ? Kindly elaborate on what exactly do you wish to do here, unless you got the desired results.
