  Hello,
  
  i want to connect two bodies in an explicit dynamics simulation. At the start, they are seperated. After some seconds in the simualtion they are touching and i want them to stick togehter. ( Like an adhesive). Unfortunatley the body interaction doesnt find the contact( one body gets through the other)
  
  I have changed the offset, the contact detection type, pinball facor.....
  
  Can somebody tell what options i could change or check?
  
  Alternative: Is it possible to form a ring with an elastomer ( from a straight beam) .--> Bend and stick together , for real bending stresses in the ring.
  
  thank you
