SOILCONTACT

This command will add two groups of planes to the active model. The first group of plane elements will share nodes with models interface with the excavation volume. The second group of plane elements will be built with coincident nodes to the first group of Plane elements and all the nodes of the second group are created by this command. All of the new nodes will be added to the end of the node list of the active model. A map of the coincident node of the 2 Planes will be written to an ASCII format file modelname_Contactmap.txt. This command is intended to be used to create contact/target surface when converting to an ANSYS® model.
