Is it possible to apply load to an object that is location dependent?

Hello,
I'm new to COMSOL and would like to ask if anyone know whether my idea below will work or not?
I'm trying to create a model for interaction between two objects with the load being distance dependent. Object A serves as a base which can be considered as rigid. Object B approach Object A by an attractive force which is dependent on the relative location between Object A and B at each time point. Object B will deform based on the load and the shape of Object A when they come into contact
To compute the attractive force, first I will Object A and B. The force will exist between each pair of elements between the objects. For example, for element 1 in Object B, there will be force between it and each element in Object A. Then the total force applied on element 1 in Object B is the sum of all forces. As a summary, the force on each element in Object B will be different and dependent on its location.
Does anyone know if this is achievable by COMSOL? If so, may I ask for some suggestions on how to compute the distances between elements?
Thank you!
