  Hi,nis there any way to difine a frictional support instead of a frictionless support. I have to consider the effect of the friction on the walls of a box, which is expanding by increasing the temperature.nBest Regards nRouzbehn

  ,create a surface right adjacent to the box's walls, for each wall where you want to keep the frictional support with. Make the surface quite larger than the wall's dimensions. Keep each of the surface behavior as 'Rigid'. Create frictional contacts between each surface and its adjacent wall. If frictionless support was the only support you were using within the model, then you should also put a fixed support to all the newly created surfaces.n
