A parameterized trivial model designed to analyze the effects of friction contacts. It consists of three approximately rigid single-element surfaces connected by surface contacts and rigid friction. The outer surfaces are supported without constraints, simplified as much as possible, and the middle surface is subjected to incremental loading that is controlled horizontally, either by force or by displacement. For the force-controlled analysis, a stop is also added starting at 0.0001 mm of deformation.
