We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

It is possible to activate/deactivate boundary conditions in different load steps in Explicit Dynamics system. However, it is not possible to activate/deactivate contact regions or body interactions in different load steps in Explicit Dynamics system. 

If you have to use different type of contacts for the same contact/target of body/face pair, you may consider using WB LS-DYNA & LS-DYNA Restart Systems. You can use Frictionless contact at LS-DYNA system and then replace it with Breakable Bonded contact in LS-DYNA Restart system.
