I'm trying to add friction to the step 42. What would be the most efficient way to add friction to this step. What modules do I need to change?

while I'm an author of step-42, I'm not an expert in friction. As a consequence, I don't have any particularly good suggestions other than to suggest starting with a clarified question. Namely, step-42 is a program that solves a static problem and as a consequence there is no place where dynamic (kinetic) friction can play a role. Static setups can experience static friction ("stiction") but only as a result of a time history, which step-42 does not have. As a consequence, if you wanted to include stiction, you would still have to somehow describe a load history, for example.

My suggestion would therefore be for you to clarify what friction effects you want to model exactly, and maybe what formulation you are considering. Though I will have to mention that even if you did, I may not be able to suggest any specific steps to achieve what you are looking for. It might help others on this mailing list to do so, however.

Best
 W.
