I found the referenced thread during my quest to learn about contact capabilities in Patran/Nastran. In the post, ZeroExperience attached a tutorial for solid-to-solid which I found to be very helpful. So, my question is do you know if there are other tutorials like that out there? I would like to learn more about contacts and what each control parameter means. I have done a few contact applications using SOL101, but I had to change to an iterative solver for it to begin solving. Sometimes that approach works, but most of the time I'd have to wait for hours just so it can tell me the model is wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
