Contact Modelling in SOL600

dheeraj.kothapalli
I am trying to solve for contact solution. I have defined contact pairs instead of using contact table format. I have defined three load steps that are needed to be run cumulative. I have licensing only for SOL600. So, when I tried to setup the job for SOL600, the .bdf file by default is printing BCONTACT = ALLBODY in each subacase by default. This does not work for me as I have contacts that are combination of touch and glue type and for all touching contact I have defined a coefficient of friction. But, when I tried to setup the job for SOL400, I have no issues. Please see attached for how the subcase and loadsetps are coming out for both the cases. I really need some assistance on how to get the contact setup work in SOL600 using Patran.
