Hi

 

The last approach is the most realistic I suppose (frictional contact) as it perhaps represents the real situation. Perhaps have all parts flexible as this is more realistic.

 

You can still get some high artificial stresses perhaps (say near contact areas).

 

See more about this (artificial stresses) here:

 

 

 

All the best
