Assign contact models. The selected contact model applies to contacts in the specified range. If no range is specified, then all contacts in the model are affected. The contact model can be a built-in contact model, or a plug-in contact model (registered with the
program load
command).By default, mechanical contacts (i.e., corresponding to sprocess = “mechanical”) are considered. If sprocess is specified, then it must correspond to an existing process, and contacts within this process are considered.
The list of built-in mechanical contact models is given in the “Built-in Contact Models” section. Users may also implement custom contact models (see “User-Defined Contact Models” for further information).
