Hi Vitor,
What should the results actually look like? can you please describe the expected results?
Secondly you do see that the loads in the horizontal direction are unopposed and will create extensive deformation or in fact just displacement as the top component is not constrained in that direction at all. what is the reasoning behind such boundary conditions?
See image below where I compare results for different run parameters, see top left window where in the loadstep I have used cntnlsub with scid and in scid I have referred the previous loadstep, in this analysis I have also removed the load on the top plate in the vertical direction leaving only the horizontal load.
Just below that , i.e. bottom left i run the analysis with the load in the vertical direction in the top plate again using the scid option
The results on the left are from analyses run as you have sent it. cntnlsub in all conditions seems to give us similar results.
