CONTACTDELETE (Delete Contact Pairs)

Description

The CONTACTDELETE Case Control command is used in conjunction with the CONTACTGENERATE command. The CONTACTGENERATE command automatically generates all the possible contact surface pairs in a model. Use the CONTACTDELETE command to manually remove pairs of contact surfaces that you know will never come into contact. The description of the CONTACTGENERATE command gives the convention for numbering generated contact surfaces. You can eliminate the case of self-contact for a surface by listing the surface identifier twice on the CONTACTDELETE command. See the following examples.
