    Hi,

    Unfortunately, we don't have a theory manual for the TYPE24 interface.  Most things are work the same as TYPE7 except for the contact stiffness and gap.  The contact stiffness constant in TYPE24.  The initial stiffness is calculated and used.  Versus in TYPE7 the stiffness increases as the node penetrates in to the Gap.

    All the other details about TYPE24 are in the comments in the Reference Guide.

    Thanks,

    Andy
