•New finite sliding option (continuous sliding) has been added. With this option (TRACK=CONSLI on CONTACT bulk entry), the contact search is conducted for every nonlinear iteration. Continuous sliding contact is expected to produce more accurate results and better convergence robustness for some cases, especially when very large sliding and/or distortion are presented.
•OLOAD support for Incremental Results output (NLOUT) in Nonlinear Analysis.  
•Inertia Relief support for large displacement Analysis.
•GENER/DAMPER option support for PBUSH1D.
•Surface-to-Surface discretization becomes default for TIE/CONTACT with FREEZE when the salve is not a set of grids and no heat transfer subcase is involved.
•ADJUST for TIE or CONTACT with FREEZE now accounts for thickness padding (GPAD).
•Removing/Re-activation of elements is now supported for small displacement nonlinear analysis.
•Contact Area for Node-to-Surface contact is available.
