Reply To: Bonded contact in a non-linear material analysis

"The problem with shared topology is that i can't use it because i have two materials"

It is not clear to me whay you say this.

It is not recommended to use bonded contact in an area of interest.  

Use the 'shared topology' tools to connect the bodies together, the nodes will be merged etc.

Indeed meshing can be more challenging, but this is what is required.

Use linear elements.

Averging of results across bodies can be turned on/off if desired.
