How to define a contact between two surface of shell elements in Nastran profile?

Which card image i should use? I created slave and master elements using contact surface collector . Am doing linear static and normal mode analysis.

     I think contact is not available for linear static and normal mode?

    You can use RBE3 to represent a flexible connection between 2 parts, assume that they will not be detached during loaded
