  HelloArray,nWhat is the error message that you are receiving? You may want to ensure that there is no initial gap/penetration across target/contact face. For this use the Adjust to touch option under Interface treatment. Also, I see that the pad displacement is along the Y axis. Is this correct? The pad should move along the Z axis (revolute joint axis is) in order to touch the disk and create some pressure. Right?nRegards,Ishan.n
