Hi everyone. In HyperMesh 2019 it was possible to choose the contact pairs (BCONECT card) which should be used for BCTABL1 in contact browser. But in HyperMesh 2020 something changed in interface and I can't find this functionality. How to choose contact pairs (BCONECT) for contact table (BCTABL1) in HM2020 release for MSC Nastran solver?

    I looked into the Contact Browser help in HM2019 release and in HM2020 release for Nastran solver. There is same descriptions, nothing is change. It seems like a software bug. It's very strange, because can't create contact table in HM2020...<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>BCTABL1.thumb.png.8335e1cb51935a7e78c187ee136ad1c9.png

    I encountered the same issue. I ended up having to define it manually in the BDF after exporting...Not an ideal way of doing it, but it works.

    Yes, this was a bug. It has been fixed in 2021.
