I'm using the Simulation premium 2011 X64 SP3, and have the non-linear study setup. When I tried to add components contacts, the only options available is 1) bonded and 2) allow penetration. On the static study, I could select the "no penetration option". Is this a bug?
see the screenshot below.
I see the same in SP5 when specifying component contact, however I can apply No Penetration conditions when doing so as a Contact Set. Would using a Contact Set be a valid solution to your problem?
