A compliance operator is often utilized to evaluate the elastic deformation during simulation of elastohydrodynamic lubrication of conformal-contact systems. The values of the compliance operator represent the elastic deformations of all nodes when only one node is under a unit external load. The accuracy of compliance operator values, computational cost, and storage size are important issues. It is found that values only in a small region surrounding the loading node should be used and those in other regions can be discarded. Moreover, the mesh refinement in thickness direction is found to be more important than that along the longitudinal and width directions. A simple formula is suggested as the relationship between the values of a compliance operator and refinement steps. These two approaches enable an efficient elasticity procedure for the simulation of conformal-contact Elastohydrodynamic lubrication systems.
