  Hi there:
  
  This message "Contact element 286302 (real ID 312) has too much sliding distance 1.044386073E-02 relative to target element 286345. Switch to finite sliding logic (KEYOPT(18)=0) to better represent this situation if desired." and I believe this has caused to the convergence difficulty in my modeling.
  
  Any idea how/where to switch to "Finite-sliding Contact" in the mechanical?
  
  Thanks!
  Rgds,
