Hello,

 

I have updated the software from the 14 to the 2017.1 version and when I am trying to select the 2D elements to add to the BSURF group in order to define contact in a BCTSET card in NX Nastran user profile, no elements are selected. Is this a bug of the software or has there been a change in the way to specify contact of which I am not aware of?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    I have just updated to version 2017.2 and I got the same problem. I can add the elements through the interfaces panel but not by directly clicking on the group. It seems to me that this might be a bug in the system.

    Hi,

    I tried adding through the entity editor and was able to add elements to the BSURF group.

    Can you try adding though entity editor?.
