      Hi all,

      I am conducting an Explicit Dynamics Analysis in Ansys Workbench, but I received the following message despite not having any contact tools in my analysis. I showed all the features of the model and confirmed that there is no conatct tool inculded in the model.

      "Invalid object (Contact Tool) for an Explicit analysis. If the object is not visible, please disable Environment Filtering to review and remove/suppress these objects from the Tree."

      Hi

      Perhaps following what the message says helps.

      Look/search for 

      2.23. Environment Filtering

      In the ansys help manual.
