      We have a much better workflow now (in 2020 release and onwards) for the rebars using the reinf264 elements - you just add your steel rebars as line bodies and then use a reinforcement type (see yellow highlight in the image below) in mechanical instead of beam and they will be automatically embedded in the concrete. So we do not need any contacts or anything. Just use reinforcement type.nnSee here for more info:/forum/discussion/12308/error-with-reinf264-elementsn
