Hi,

When we executing a OptiStruct Implicit analysis, we can use CONTF to get contact force in .cntf file, whether the contact type is freeze or others. 

But in OptiStruct Explicit analysis, the freeze type contact force will not show in .cntf file, does the freeze contact force calculation not be supportted in Explicit?  

Is there any other way to get freeze contact force in Explicit analysis?

Thank you.
