(OP)
I am not using the most current CosmosWorks.

I am trying to create contact elements between a cylinder and a hole near the edge. The edge of the hole has a small round on it. I have to create two contact groups between the bolt and the hole, one for the hole itself and one for the round on the edge. Cosmos will create both groups in the feature tree, but when I look at the exported model I find that in fact only one set of contact elements is created.

Has anybody had any experience in placing contact elements between surfaces where they are tangent on one side and share a common contact surface on the other because of sliding and large displacements?
