Hello, I have been trying to use tiebreak contact with the 20 noded Hexahedral solid element (ELFORM 23). When I select the surfaces using the segment set approach- it keeps giving me an error that certain master, slave surfaces have not been not found. Because this didn't work, I then tried defining tiebreak contact using the PARTSET. But, the nodes on the middle of the edges don't get selected and only the nodes on the corners are tied. I strongly prefer to use the segment set selection of tiebreak surfaces, and need to know to how to execute this. Can anyone share some insight on this? Thanks

Hi

I would suggest to post it in the correct/dedicated LS-Dyna forum (this here is mechanical).

All the best
