Creating sub contacts for Radioss general contacts

Michael Herve_21439

Overview

In Radioss (and more generally explicit solvers, including LS Dyna and PamCrash), it is now standard to define a single contact for all parts, including auto-contact. Then if the user needs to extract contact forces between pair of components, Radioss allows to define sub contacts. 
In this video, we show how to automate the creation of these sub contacts, and the definition of the output block.
