Problem Statement
To investigate how to conduct a contact analysis with two bodies that have
different mesh densities, this problem will include a mounting bracket that has
a coarse mesh and a loading block that is more finely meshed. The mounting
bracket has a fixed boundary condition of 0 on its left face. The loading block
has a force on its right face pushing it a total displacement of .003 inches into
the mounting bracket.
