elastic contact with ansys wb

[gtsolid]

Hello, everyone.
to simulate the contact between skate and guide I would not like to use the "bonded" well something more accurate and take into account the stiffness of 600n/μm that brings me back the manufacturer.

ho provato a followe This is tutorials but it's not ideal as it takes into account bodies not in contact, which is not my case.
Can you help me?

It seems to me that ansys also foresees the bond type reaction of the soil (constant of winkler).
I don't have the program now, but I did something like that.
Hi.

If you can tell me something more precise, you do me a favor, because I've been documented on the model, it seems usable not my project, but I can't find the corresponding application on the wb

Nothing, I found: I think it's "elastic support." I don't understand what to put in "foundation stiffness," [N/mm^3]seems a specific weight, or a pressure applied to something linear.
looking, This is file should be something that has to do with the area and instrinsic stiffness of the component

or maybe a stiffness per surface unit?
the rigidity is expressed in n/mm and if the divide for the contact surface comes to me in n/mm^3.

I'm still fighting the model to make it match reality.
feeling the representative of the skates I see that the guides wander, as linear stiffness, on the 600n/micron. He even told me not to consider flexional stiffness because it makes sense only on very particular applications.

I have now taken the rigidity of the guide and divided it for a contact area, as you say @onda What area did I consider? the spheres have a contact not punctual but little we miss.
I took half the area of the surfaces on which the spheres go. It seems to work.
