Need Help with Suction-Based Climbing Robot Simulation

Hi everyone,
I'm working on simulating a suction-based climbing robot using COMSOL Multiphysics. My objective is to check whether the robot will stick to a vertical surface or slip based on applied suction.
Project Details:
Suction pressure: –15,750 kPa applied to each suction pad
Robot weight: 117 N
I want to simulate how the robot behaves under gravity and suction force—whether it stays adhered or begins to slide.
I'm confused about contact pairs and setting up proper interaction between the robot body and the wall.
Also, deciding between stationary and time-dependent studies is a bit unclear.
