Answer:
You can use the surface releases, but you need to separate the overlapping part with an own surface. Overlapping surfaces should be avoided in general and can be checked by the "Model Check" (Tools → Model Check → Overlapping Surfaces). Please watch the video file (see the link below) to see the approach. As an alternative, you can add a "Contact Solid" between two surfaces.
