Edge to Edge Contact dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Name
Name	Sets the name of the contact that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Simulation Objects Container node.
Description	Sets the description.
Destination Folder
Simulation Objects Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the contact is stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.
Source Region (slave)
Source Region	Lets you select the Source Region (edges) of the contact. For more information on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Target Region (master)
Target Region	Lets you select a Target Region (edges) of the contact. For more information on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Swap Regions
Appears when Type is set to Manual Cyclic Symmetry.
Swap Regions	Lets you swap defined regions.
Specific Parameters
Unidirectional/Bidirectional	Lets you define the contact type. Select Unidirectional if you want the contact to operate from the Source Region to the Target Region. Select Bidirectional if you want the contact to operate in both directions.
General Parameters
Parameters	Lets you define the contact general parameters.For more information, see Contact Parameters dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
Output Requests
Select Reference Position for the Moment	Lets you define select the reference position to compute the moment in the results.
Reference Position for the Moment	Appears when the Select Reference Position for the Moment check box is selected.Defines the reference position for the moment in the model.
Contact Results	Lets you define contact specific results.For more information, see the structural MACRO element in the Simcenter Samcef solver documentation.
Advanced Parameters
User Defined Parameters	Lets you manually define .MCT parameters.Note: The added text must be compliant with the Samcef Command Language terminology. For more information, see the Samcef documentation.Note: This property may be filled during the import a Samcef bank if some imported parameters are unknown to this simulation object.
