Comments

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.
