Interactions Section


	Contact Detection Identifies contacting surfaces and creates surface-based contact between them. See Using Contact Detection.
	Surface-based Contact Specifies contact between two surfaces. See Defining Surface-Based Contact in Implicit Steps.
	General Contact Specifies the contact behavior between all components in a model. See Defining General Contact in Implicit Steps.
	Contact Property Defines the properties, such as friction or conductance, for general contact or surface-based contact. See Defining Contact Properties in Structural Steps.
	Contact Initialization Adjusts general contact surfaces to remove small gaps or overlaps. See Defining Contact Initialization.
	Contact Interference Controls handling of overclosed surfaces used in surface contact interactions. See Defining Contact Interference.
	Contact Controls Defines optional controls for surface-based contact. See Defining Contact Controls.
	Tangential Behavior Override Override the tangential behavior of interaction property. See Applying Tangential Behavior Overrides.
	Model Change Manager Launches the model change manager. See Using the Model Change Manager.
	Show Disconnected Bodies See Flyout for Finding Disconnected Bodies.

Flyout for Finding Disconnected Bodies


	Show Disconnected Bodies Highlights bodies that do not have any connections. See Locating Disconnected Bodies.
	Show Contacting Bodies Highlights regions in a model where bodies come into contact but do not intersect or overlap. See Locating Contacting Bodies.
	Show Intersecting Bodies Highlights regions in a model where bodies intersect or overlap. See Locating Intersecting Bodies.
