Hi all!
I am a learner and am trying to familiarize myself with ABAQUS. I tried a problem where I have two rods of identical dimensions. I need to stack one on top of the other and define a contact interaction. I have a pre-load to define contact, but every time I run the job i get the following error msg -

'For surface interaction intprop-1, *contact damping is not active for contact motions tangential to the surfaces since friction has not been defined.'

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
