AFM PARAMETRIC INDENTATION

I´m solving a concact mechanical problem. Specifically I have two geometries:
THE INDENTER (linear elastic material) that indents a cell
THE CELL (hyperelastic material) indented by the indenter
I impose on the indenter a parametric prescribed displacement for increasing values of the indentation. Then I implemented the concact between the two surfaces and the module works.
The problem is that I cannot reach large deformation cause the mesh, for increasing values of the indentation, deforms too much. I would like to add a ALE moving mesh on my module but I couldn´t find a solution.
Could you please explain me how the module has to be implemented (maybe the problem is the cohesisten present of a concact)...
Looking foward a reply
