Multiple Contact Conditions

When multiple contact conditions are specified for an entity, they are enforced as follows:

  • Local contact conditions override global and component contact conditions. You can define local contact conditions for touching faces conveniently using the Contact Sets PropertyManager.

  • Component contact conditions override global contact conditions.

  • Global contact condition will be used for all touching entities for which no component or local contact condition has been specified.
