Reply To: explicit dynamics bonded contact timing control

[jason xiao]

Could give me some hint because I'm not LS-DYNA user. What do you mean 'replace'? In LS-Dyna Restart I set restart type to 'full' because other wise I cannot define boundary condition 'remote displacement', which is the only way I found correct to define rotation with given rotating axis.

When I set supress/unsupress contact, the previous LS-DYNA schematic (E5) gets flush out and need resolve. 

When I go to environment -> conditions ->contact step control. It's greyed out.

When I select a bonded contact and go to LSDYNA pre ->contact property, only 'death time' is availble. What I need is birth time. While frictionless/frictional  contact has much more control than bonded contact.

My version is 2023R2. Hope I was operating something worng. Thank you.
