Missing Contact In Inspire 2014

Is there a way to induce recognition of a contact surface between design and non-design parts in an assembly?  I purposely installed interference but the expected contact failed to be detected and installed.  I can easily import the .fem into HM and fix it but I don't know if I can coax Inspire to evaluate the topoOpt.fem after I have modified it.

 

TIA

    Inspire 2014 don't have 'Contacts', any two parts touching each other, from CAD, are assumed in perfect bonded contact. Stay tuned to see 'What's coming...' in Inspire 2015. E-mail me if you would like more details.
