How to analyze the movement of the platform with gravity when it is placed in the groove without using 3D contact?

About modelling 3D contacts -

Motion supports two way to define 3D contacts. The first method was used in the model as received; all of the parts that are potentially in contact were defined in a single container:

In this method, every part in the container is checked against every other part in the container for potential contact.

The second method uses two containers:

In this method, every part in container 1 is checked against every part in container 2. Parts within the container are not checked against each other.

In this case, since 4 of the parts are grounded, and grounded parts are not checked against each other for contact, both methods are the same, but the second method might be useful for future models.

Hope, this will clarifies your understanding of the way 3D contacts work.
