1. | CONTX11 is only applied in geometric nonlinear analysis subcases which are defined by ANALYSIS = EXPDYN. It is ignored for all other subcases. |
2. | The property of CONTX11(PID) only can be defined by PCONT and its extended card PCNTX11. |
3. | CONTX11 defines contact interface type 11, it describes the edge to edge or line to line interface. This interface simulates impact between lines, a line can be a beam or truss element or a shell edge or spring elements. The interface properties are: |
• | impacts occur between a master and a slave line |
• | a slave line can impact on one or more master lines |
• | a line can belong to the master and the slave side. This allows self impact |
• | this interface can be used in addition to the interface type 7 PCNTX7 to solve the edge to edge limitation of interface type 7 |
4. | The slave line entity SLID and master line set entity MLID must be defined via LINE: |
• | a set of edges or lines of 1D, 2D or 3D elements |
• | a set of elements (bars, beams, springs or shells), defined using SET(ELEM, ...) command |
5. | This card is represented as a group in HyperMesh. |
