Dear,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

When I place the ball tangent to the plate a gap of only a small gap exists as shown in the figure below.

I have added the time settings you mentioned and the ball still seems to be moving in the other direction from the start when i look at the results. 

When i look at the contacting region it also is just constant and does not increase due to deformation of the plate.
