How to use FINITE Tracking in Non Linear Analysis in v2025?

Anuj Nandal_21993

I use Hyperworks 2025. I was trying to run a non linear analysis, I realised that FINITE tracking in Tracking option in contact definition, is not available. The only options I see are Small and CONSLI. Is this an intentional change. Can I still access FINITE tracking. It was there in the earlier versions. Also I see documentation regarding this. Could someone please help me locate it

Hi @Anuj Nandal_21993

FINITE could still be used in the solver itself, but you would need to edit the solver deck in a text editor later.

For these applications CONSLI (Continuous Sliding) should be better performing, and should deliver good results as well.
