  Hi,
  
  I could create an initial contact tool by right click on a specific contact in ansys mechanical 19R1 version. That was very practical. Now I am using 20R1 but I couldn't find such an option. Do I have to create an initial contact tool for all contact regions and deactivate the ones I don't need?

  Hi,
  
  Even in 2020R1 you can right-click on any contact(s) -->Create-->Contact Tool. That should given you the initial contact information for that/those contact pairs. If you right-click on Connections you choose Insert-->Contact Tool. But for individually selected contact pairs its Create-->Contact Tool
  
  Hope this helps,

  There is no "create" option when I right click on a contact in 20R1. Can you share an example?
