During the initial simulation, I changed the 3 contacts to frictionless (two) and frictional (one) but the contact settings in the Static structural module are not updated during the optimization runs and it is updated as bonded contact during the optimization. I want to know if there is some method through which the initial contact settings are not changed during the optimization runs. Thank you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bbp-pagination\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-276941","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["16716","81","88","288087"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.192.164.14"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["395"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["276941"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["81","88","16716","288087"],"_bbp_voice_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["293604"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["293604"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-07-18 10:30:01"]},"test":"20217579gs-cwnu-ac-kr"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/276941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/276941\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
