Edge to Edge Contact dialog box (Abaqus Dynamic Explicit)

Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which to store the boundary condition. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical list of existing folders. To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Surface Pair
First Surface/Second Surface	Lets you select the region that defines the contacting surface in the contact pair. Select an existing region or click Create Region to create a new region. For more information, see Working with reusable regions.Note: Both regions must contain the same type of entity (that is, faces, element faces, and so on).
Swap Regions
Swap Regions	Reverses the first and second surfaces.
Contact Pair
Contact Property	Specifies a contact property modeling object.Select a modeling object from the list or click Create Modeling Object to create one. The Contact Property modeling object defines contact properties for the pairs of surfaces that may contact or interact during the analysis. If you do not specify a Contact Property modeling object, the software assumes a hard contact with no friction. For more information, see:Contact Property dialog box (Abaqus)Defining contact properties (Abaqus Dynamic Explicit analyses)Abaqus Analysis User's Guide: Mechanical contact properties**Abaqus Keywords Reference Guide: **SURFACE, *CONTACT PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT, *SURFACE INTERACTION, *SURFACE BEHAVIOR, FRICTION

These options are available when you click More Options .
Find	Lets you search for an object by typing the full name of the object. For example, to find a group named ABC_group, you must type ABC_group into the search box.After typing the name, press Enter or click Find . If the object is found, it is selected automatically.
Filter by Name	Lets you filter the list by the names of the objects. This filter supports wildcards. The default wildcard of * displays all entries in the list. For example, to filter the list to display every object with a name starting with the letter "a," enter a* as the filter string.
