Hello, 

Thank you so much for your response. That indeed solved the problem. 
However, it did not help me with the purpose of my simulation. the reason 
that I split the cone body into two bodies is that I wanted to obtain the 
forces on the tip of the cone only. However, by splitting the body, the 
simulation time increased by 2.5 and I am not really sure of the accuracy 
of the result. Is there a way to specify the specific part of the cone( the 
tip in case) where I want to obtain the forces on? in other words,  is 
there a way to obtain the forces on the tip of the cone only without the 
need for splitting the cone into two different bodies? I am new to Chrono 
so I am not 100% sure of its abilities. I would assume that this is 
something common and would have a solution.

Thank you so much,
