Contac48 element not in Ansys 11.0?

Contac48 element not in Ansys 11.0?

Contac48 element not in Ansys 11.0?

(OP)
Hi I am following the contact tutorial here:
http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/AT/Contact/Contact.html

I can't find the contac48 element, I am using Ansys 11.0. The tutorial uses Ansys 7.0.

I know there is a contac175 element, but then I have to use a target element.

Is there anyway of getting the contac48 element?

thanks!

RE: Contac48 element not in Ansys 11.0?

I would take the conta175 with a appropiate target element. Targetless elements are in v11 the conta178, contac52 and contac12 elements.
