Hi PPM community,
Is it possible to deactivate, activate or change contact parameters through several STEPs?
Thank in advance for your reply.

Yes, but it’s not yet implemented in PrePoMax. You can use the keyword editor for that and add the following card:
*MODEL CHANGE, TYPE=CONTACT PAIR, ADD/REMOVE
slave_surface_name, master_surface_name
Of course, you have to choose either ADD or REMOVE in a given step.
You can also change friction:
*CHANGE FRICTION, INTERACTION=surface_interaction_name
*FRICTION
friction_coefficient, stick_slope
O.K… Great.
Thanks for the reply.
