Warning in .dat file from Abaqus for double contact, surface-to-surface

Hi,

I have the following warning in my .dat file from Abaqus. I modeled my section in Patran and then run it in Abaqus. I'm not quite sure what it means exactly. Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance.

***NOTE: THE ROTATIONAL DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF THE NODES THAT CONSTITUTE THE
SURFACES WILL NOT BE CONSTRAINED BETWEEN THE SLAVE AND MASTER PAIR
