Hello, I would like to use a superelement in my model, but in the boundary, where have to be defined coupled pairs of nodes, there is defined a contact between two surfaces with different numbers of elements -> so I can´t define coupled pairs of nodes (there must be defined a contact becaulse of the connection between wto areas with different meshes). Is there any way how to solve such a problem?

I would suggest using joints rather contact. But If you insist, try mark all your contact nodes as master (on the SE boundary), then Your SE will have them visible and contact (i.e. MPC) should be allowed.
