Penetration problem with open structure

  Hi guys,
  
  Currently facing this issue in my simulation.
  Below is a simple concept of my simulation.
  
  Basically I have a tape(blue) and want to pull it downwards using pressure, I have placed a fixed cylinder (orange) and would wish that
  the tape rest on the surface of the cylinder.
  
  I have defined frictional contact between tape body and cylinder body.
  
  However, the solution that I have got in Ansys is of the 2nd picture, the tape deforms so much that it appears on the other side of the cylinder.
  
  I have tried increasing the pinball radius of the frictional contact but it does not seem to converge.
  Could anyone advice me on this matter?
  
  Thank you!
