Model Penetration Issue

  I have set up a motorbike frame for impact against a thick wall target surface and have assigned frictionless contacts between the two surfaces. However, I am getting unexpectedly high penetration on the target surface (the frame is travelling at a speed of 70mph). Is it possible to modify the model so that there is no penetration experienced by the target and only by the contact (motorbike frame). Would setting the target as a rigid body achieve this? Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  Yes, make the wall a rigid body. In the video below, the wall is on the left side and it is just a surface, not a body, you you almost can't see it.
