AUTOMATIC DEFORMATION BOUNDARY

Hi,
I'm trying to implement a mechanical problem in COMSOL 4.1 .
The initial geometry consists on a circle that lies on a rectangle (therefore the concact between the two surfaces is a point) .
The circle is much softer that the substratum and tends to bind it (with a certain force). I would like to define an area that sorrounds the boundary of the sphere and the substratum in such a way that all the points that belong to this area become in contact with the force mentioned above. In this way the sphere will deform on the rectangle.
Is this implemented on COMSOL 4.1? How?
Thank You
Giulio

Hi
I would try to split your sphere around the contact point, by intersecting it with a cylinder and then deleting the extra geoemtry items all in the "Geometry" section (or use a CAD Split line feature such as in SolidWorks)

Good luck
