shell to shell contact

[bernd]

how did you crrate them? I did extrude a circle. Standard value for splitted file writing is False, means no line is one input file, AFAIK.

how did you crrate them?

Here is a fixed version.
Should be meshable, because tubes are compounded and point of force application is boolean fragmented.
Tube's faces are reversed too.

Please have a try.

this is what I would do if I would create them with the GUI as you did. The extrusion way was just faster to code in Python.
